Scotty McCreery is mourning the loss of two special women in his life.
The American Idol alum shared that both his maternal grandmother Janet Hunter Cooke and paternal grandmother Paquita McCreery died July 9. They were 85 and 93, respectively.
“My heart is absolutely broken. Yesterday, both my Grandma Janet and my Grandma Paquita passed away,” Scotty, 31, shared on Instagram July 10 alongside a picture of him and wife Gabi McCreery posing with his grandmothers at their 2018 wedding. “I think I am still in a bit of shock as I type this, but I’m choosing to remember the great memories we all made with both of them.”
“There really are too many to count. From being on the farm in Elizabeth City or visiting the Outer Banks with Grandma Janet,” the “Slow Dance” singer continued. “And then the incredible memories we made at the backyard pool in Pinehurst, all the way to visiting Puerto Rico with Grandma Paquita.”
