RIP to a real Detroit legend, Teresa Gillis. Jack White just shared that his mom passed away at 95, and reading about her life is so moving. She wasn't just the mother of a rock star; she was a powerhouse who raised 10 kids, worked as an usher at the Masonic Temple, and even served the Archdiocese of Detroit. Jack always credited her for his insane work ethic, and who could forget when he brought her on stage at Little Caesars Arena to sing ‘Hotel Yorba’ back in 2018? She was the youngest of 10, just like Jack, and they shared a unique bond. It’s rare to see that kind of old-school devotion and humility these days. She loved jigsaw puzzles, Polish food, and praying for everyone daily. A true saint who lived a full, beautiful life. As the song goes, 'Who's gonna fill their shoes?' Rest in peace, Teresa. #music #culture #biography https://thoxt.com/l/FxUOCp
