The ENQUIRER has EXCLUSIVELY learned that Stevie Nicks’ 84-year-old beloved mother, Barbara Nicks, passed away in a Scottsdale, AZ area hospital on December 29, after a battle with pneumonia.

Family insiders revealed that a heartbroken Stevie, 63, sat at Barbara’s bedside for days before she passed.

“Stevie was extremely close to her mother and barely left her side over the past few days—it was almost like a hospice situation as they knew she could pass at any minute,” stated the insider.

“Close friends and family also took around-the-clock shifts to make sure Stevie and Barbara were taken care of.

“They also held frequent vigils for Barbara—they wanted to make sure she passed in the most comfortable and respected way possible.”

The insider added that this is a big loss for many in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area as Barbara was a local celebrity in her own right, and had many friends and fans.

Arrangements are being done under the direction of Green Acres Mortuary & Cemetery, Scottsdale, AZ.

God, my heart just went out to Stevie when I read this. I've been in that position. I hope she's resting a little now, the poor lass. And all at Christmas time, too.

One good thing is that it's clear there's a good support network for the family. And she'll be OK. I know she will, cos she has such a strong faith.

Thanks for posting this. I couldn't access it from where I live either.

I know Stevie has asked in the past for donations for St Judes Childrens Hospital instead of birthday cards for her birthday.
I will make a donation in Mrs. Nicks name.

That's sweet.

Fans may also want to wait until the family expresses their wishes for memorial donations.

I was in the same situation this year. We had to take my mom off life support and we watched for hours until she passed. All her kids were there. I'm sure Barbara was thankful that Stevie and Chris were there for her.

When both parents are deceased, its a different world.
