25 Jul
Summary
- Chris Anne Affleck fulfilled her final wish to see her grandson graduate.
- She passed away peacefully in her sleep two days after the graduation.
- Jennifer Garner shared a close bond with her mother-in-law, Chris Anne.
Chris Anne Affleck, the mother of actor Ben Affleck, passed away on June 2, 2026, at the age of 83 due to pancreatic cancer. Her final wish was to witness her grandson Atticus's high school graduation, a deeply meaningful event she was able to attend in May 2026.
Tragically, Chris Anne passed away peacefully in her sleep just two days after celebrating this milestone with her grandson. This follows a period of family grief, as the family had mourned the death of Jennifer Garner's father, William Garner, two years prior.
Despite her divorce from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner maintained a close and affectionate relationship with her former mother-in-law. This bond extended to Garner's children, who also cherished their grandmother. Chris Anne Affleck's passing occurred on July 23, 2026, according to a Legacy obituary, as reported by DailyMail.
