Jennifer Love Hewitt is mourning the loss of her mother, Patricia, who passed away Tuesday from complications due to cancer, the actress' rep tells Us Weekly. She was 67.
"She was an angel to all who knew her and they are grateful she is now in a better place," the rep says. "They ask for privacy at this difficult time."

Patricia, a speech-language pathologist, is survived by her daughter, 33, and son, Dr. Todd Hewitt.
Jennifer and her mother moved from Texas to L.A. in 1989 to pursue a career in show business. The following year, Jennifer joined the cast of Kids Incorporated, also starring Eric Balfour, now 35. (Previous cast members include Fergie, 37, and Mario Lopez, 38.)
Though Jennifer went on to appear in a string of TV and movie hits -- Party of Five, I Know What You Did Last Summer and Can't Hardly Wait -- her mother was most proud of her latest role on Lifetime's The Client List.

"My mom's like, 'I'm so proud. You're pole dancing and you're going to play a prostitute. Awesome!'" Hewitt laughed during an Entertainment Tonight interiew in 2010. "It's like, 'Yeah, what you always dreamed about, mama!' But you know, it's a great part."
