MEDFORD, MA — TV personality and Medford native Maria Menounos is mourning the loss of her mother after a long battle with brain cancer. Litsa Menounos died Sunday, Menounos shared in a heartbreaking post to Instagram.

“RIP mom,” she wrote below a picture of her mother being embraced. “God loved her so much he took her on greek easter.”

Litsa Menounos was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer in 2016. While she was caring for her mother, Maria had a health scare of her own. She revealed in 2017 that she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had a golf ball-sized benign tumor removed during a seven-hour surgery.
