Patrick Dempsey's Mother Loses Battle To Cancer

Patrick Dempsey's mother Amanda Dempsey has passed away. She was 79.  



Dempsey's beloved mom battled ovarian cancer on and off since 1997.

After she was diagnosed several years ago, Patrick and his two sisters helped create a cancer support organization at a hospital in Maine, where his mother had been treated, according to the Associated Press. 

"Thank you all for your support & condolences during this difficult time. My mom was a remarkable woman. She will be missed," Dempsey, 48, recently tweeted about his remarkable mother.







It was recently revealed that Patrick will be honored with the 2014 Maine Creative Industries Award, which praises "exceptional people and organizations who enrich Maine's growing reputation as a state where the arts and enterprise meet and flourish."
