Actress Kristin Chenoweth has been vocal about being raised by adoptive parents and the joyful childhood she had, calling adoption “a full-circle blessing.” This week on Instagram, she penned a touching tribute to her birth mother and announced her death.<\/p>\n

“The angel that brought me into this world has passed,” wrote Chenoweth. “Her name is Lynn. Aka Mamalynn. The ten plus years I knew her were magic. So many things became clear to me about myself when I met her and came to really know her. Those of us who knew her loved her light. Her love of music and all things artistic. An artist herself! The mother of beautiful Jennifer and darling Chris. Man she loved her kids!”<\/p>\n

Chenoweth continued, “In her belly, I became fans of Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, Doyle Bramhall, Jimi Hendrix, and, of course, Billy Ethridge – my bio dad. The two of them gave me the innate artistic ability I have today.”<\/p>\n

Ethridge was a musician and spent time as the bassist for ZZ Top.<\/p>\n
