Sarah Silverman's mother, Beth Ann O'Hara, has died at age 73.
The comedienne tweeted a throwback picture of her mom Monday. "Wednesday morning my mom died," she informed her 6.76 million Twitter followers. "She was a know-it-all in overalls & two different colored socks. And defiantly, no bra."
Silverman, the youngest of five kids, described her late mother as "the woman who, when I was little, gave me detailed directions to a restaurant ladies room then secretly watched as I found my way to it on my own. The woman who went back to college at 42, and skinny dipped in ponds, and told me never to protect myself from a broken heart because it was so very worth the pain to get to experience love."
O'Hara was surrounded by her children and grandchildren at the time of her death.
