Bobbie Jean died on Saturday morning in Florida, TMZ reported, citing her mother, Jane Carter.
“I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean, and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time,” Jane told the outlet, referring to Bobbie Jean’s death, as well as those of Aaron, who died at 34 in November 2022, and Leslie Carter, who died at 25 in January 2012.
“When I am able to think clearly, I’ll release a fuller statement, but until then, I would request to be left to grieve in private,” she continued.
Added Jane: “[H]owever deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater.
So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious eight-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother.”
Sources close to the Carters tell PEOPLE the family believes Bobbie Jean died after going into cardiac arrest, though further details of what led up to her death remain unclear.
Before her death, Bobbie Jean led a mostly private life with her young daughter, though she was involved in her brothers’ respective music careers years ago.
According to TMZ, she worked as a wardrobe stylist and makeup artist for Aaron’s tours during the early 2000s, after he rose to fame with a successful music career.
