Michaela DePrince's mother Elaine DePrince dies just one day after the ballerina's sudden passing at 29

As a follower who has been moved by the incredible stories of resilience and triumph, I am deeply saddened by the tragic news of Michaela DePrince’s passing and the loss of her adoptive mother, Elaine, within 24 hours of each other. The depth of their shared pain is almost unbearable to imagine.


24 hours after the unexpected passing of ballerina Michaela DePrince at the age of 29, her mother also died.

In a heartbreaking turn of events that unfolded last Wednesday, I found myself grieving the loss of my dear self, Elaine DePrince, just one day after the tragic demise of my cherished adopted daughter, Michaela. This unfortunate news was shared by our family spokesperson, Jessica Volinski, on her Facebook post.

Over the past few days, things have proven to be harder than many might think. This is due in part to our family grappling with the loss of Elaine DePrince, who was like a mother to my colleague Michaela.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share a heart-wrenching tale that has deeply moved me. On a fateful September 11th, my beloved idol, Elaine, lost her life during a standard preoperative process for an upcoming surgery. Tragically, Elaine was unaware of the passing of another dear soul, Michaela, who departed before Elaine. This sequence of events has left me in awe and profound sadness, as I reflect on the fragility of life and the complexities of fate.

Despite appearing unlikely, the two deaths were entirely unconnected incidents. The tragic events serve as a stark reminder that sometimes the only way to understand senseless occurrences is through the perspective that Elaine, who had previously mourned the loss of three children for many years, was granted divine mercy by avoiding the pain of losing a fourth child.

The current situation faced by the family is indescribably heart-wrenching, as they mourn the loss of two loved ones within a single day. This sad and harrowing turn of events is deeply tragic and devastating. We kindly request seclusion during these difficult times and thank you for redirecting those who spread incorrect information or speculation to this message.

Michaela’s sudden death was announced her spokesperson on Friday.

The family of the young ballerina, DePrince, has yet to disclose the reason for her passing. She gained widespread admiration by recounting her journey from an orphan escaping conflict in Sierra Leone to becoming a globally recognized ballet dancer, by openly sharing her incredible story.

Originally named Mabinty Mangura, she endured malnutrition and harsh treatment in an orphanage during her formative years. At the tender age of four, she was fortunate enough to be adopted by a loving couple from New Jersey.

At the tender age of 17, she soared to fame when she graced the stage of Dancing with the Stars, and subsequently became widely recognized as the star of Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’ music video.

As I reflect on the passing of this remarkable woman, I can’t help but share my admiration for the profound impact she had on so many lives. Her artistry, a captivating blend of grace, passion, and skill, resonated deeply within countless hearts, inspiring a multitude in her wake. The indelible mark she left on the world of ballet extends far beyond its boundaries, touching the very essence of our collective spirit. Her memory will continue to inspire generations to come.

The statement conveyed that her life embodied elegance, intent, and fortitude. She was steadfast in her dedication to her craft, her altruistic endeavors, and her bravery in facing seemingly impossible obstacles, leaving an indelible mark of inspiration on us all.

She served as an inspiring symbol of hope for numerous people, proving that even amidst the toughest challenges, beauty and grandeur can emerge from the most troubled environments.

Despite her time among us being tragically short, her genius and impact will endure, sparking in the souls of everyone moved by her tale, an eternal glow. My warmest wishes and hopes for comfort are extended to her cherished family, companions, and all who adored her.

In a 2012 interview with the Associated Press, DePrince shared the pivotal instance at an orphanage that sparked her dream of becoming a dancer.
