Nedra Talley Ross has passed away.

The Ronettes singer, who was a founding member of the group, died at the age of 80 years old on Sunday morning (April 26), her daughter revealed on Facebook.

“At approximately 8:30 this morning our mother Nedra Talley Ross went home to be with the Lord,” Nedra K Ross shared, via Variety. “She was safe in her own bed at home with her family close, knowing she was loved. Thank you Lord.”

The Ronettes‘ official Facebook page also shared the sad news of Nedra’s passing.

“It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Nedra Talley Ross’ passing. She was a light to those who knew and loved her,” the account wrote. “As a founding member of The Ronettes, along with her beloved cousins Ronnie and Estelle, Nedra’s voice, style and spirit helped define a sound that would change music. Her contribution to the group’s story and their defining influence will live forever. Rest peacefully dear Nedra. Thanks for the magic.”

The Ronettes was first started by Nedra and her cousins Ronnie Spector and Estelle Bennett, in 1959. They were first signed to Colpix Records in 1961 before moving to Phil Spector‘s Philles Records in 1963.

In 1965, The Ronettes were nominated for their first Grammy award for “Walking in the Rain” and were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame with their song “Be My Baby” in 1999.

Nedra‘s passing comes over four years after Ronnie Spector passed away. Prior to her death, Ronnie was producing a biopic about her life and hand-selected Zendaya to portray her. The movie is still in the works.
