A Swiss-American singer and actress, known for her remarkable voice and electrifying performances, passed away on May 24, 2023, at the age of 83, after a prolonged illness at her home in Switzerland. Despite her stardom, she was also a devoted wife and mother to four children.

Her journey into motherhood began at 18 when she welcomed her first child, Craig, with saxophonist Raymond Hill. Following a brief relationship, she found love again with a renowned American musician and record producer.

Together, they shared a son, Ronnie, and eventually tied the knot, forming a blended family of six.

However, her marriage ended in 1978, leaving her to navigate single parenthood. Over the years, she faced challenges, including allegations from her eldest son, Ronnie, about their strained relationship.

Despite the complexities, her remaining sons, Craig, Ike Jr., and Michael, managed to find their paths. Craig pursued real estate, while Ike Jr. pursued music.

Meanwhile, Michael led a private life away from the limelight.

The singer found solace in her marriage to Erwin Bach, whom she wed in 2013 after over two decades of companionship in Switzerland.

Their enduring love was evident, especially when Erwin offered her a kidney during her battle with illness.

Tragically, the singer experienced the loss of her sons, Craig and Ronnie, in 2018 and 2022, respectively, leaving behind a legacy in music and family.

Tina Turner, as she’s widely known, cherished her roles as a mother, wife, and entertainer, leaving an indelible mark on the world.
