Khloé Kardashian is mourning the loss of her beloved grandmother, Mary Jo “MJ” Shannon, with an emotional tribute celebrating the woman she says shaped generations of their family.
Just days after Kris Jenner announced that her mother had passed away at the age of 91, Khloé shared a touching Instagram post filled with family photos and heartfelt memories. She described MJ as someone who taught them that love, laughter, and family were life’s greatest gifts.

“My sweet MJ,” Khloé wrote. “Thank you for showing us that life is meant to be celebrated, that laughter is healing, and that love is the greatest legacy we can leave behind.”
One of the moments Khloé treasures most is that her children, True and Tatum, had the chance to know their great-grandmother. She called it “one of my greatest blessings,” saying they were able to experience MJ’s hugs, stories, joy, and unconditional love firsthand.
Khloé also reflected on the lasting impact her grandmother had on the entire Kardashian-Jenner family. She said MJ taught them that love never truly leaves, but continues through family traditions, cherished memories, and the people she helped shape.
The tribute also became deeply personal as Khloé addressed her late father, Robert Kardashian, who died in 2003. She shared her belief that MJ had reunited with him in heaven, writing, “I know you kept your promise telling my daddy just how deeply we love him and how much we miss him.”
Khloé ended her message by imagining MJ reunited with other loved ones, including her late daughter Karen Houghton and husband Harry Shannon, joking that they were once again enjoying their favorite snacks together. “Until we meet again, my sweet MJ! I love you,” she concluded.
MJ’s passing has prompted tributes from across the Kardashian-Jenner family, with Kris Jenner calling her mother “the heart of our family,” while Kim Kardashian remembered her as her “best friend, gossip buddy, and forever twin.” Together, their messages paint a picture of a woman whose love and influence will continue to live on for generations.
