Shemar Moore Shares How He Honors His Late Mother For three years now, Shemar Moore has been doing everything he can to remember his late mother in an appropriate way. Since becoming a father and recently celebrating his daughter’s birthday with girlfriend Jesiree Dizon he has made sure his memory remains alive by sharing an emotional Instagram photo that features both visiting his mom’s grave site – something sure to bring tears of emotion for anyone viewing.
At 52-years-old actor Ben Schnetzer has fulfilled one of his mother’s wishes by becoming a father himself. Being blessed to share life with Frankie has been truly wonderful for all concerned; and so he couldn’t wait to share an unforgettable moment from their lives together inspired by her mother.
Marilyn Wilson-Moore died in 2020 and Shemar Moore has worked hard since to keep her memory alive. In a 2017 interview with PEOPLE, Shemar explained how when he first saw his sprawling 9,000 square-foot Los Angeles home, he showed it to his mom so she could give it her approval before signing the dotted line. To honor his mother’s memory in his home – filled with photos of her and rooms carpeted in her favorite color carpeting – his new house features many personal touches dedicated to keeping her memory alive such as framed photographs as well as rooms carpeted in her favorite color carpeting!
On the three-year anniversary of her passing, he took his baby girl to visit her grandmother’s gravesite. They posted an adorable Instagram post featuring flowers and a sign reading, “This house is my son’s home mom. 1-26-20.”
Shemar hasn’t just been commemorating his late mother with home decorations; he’s also been raising awareness of multiple sclerosis, an illness which affected his mother. The star, best known for playing Malcolm Winters on daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless for eight years, advocates for research while biking to raise money for research. Clearly Shemar and his mother shared an unbreakable bond; even though she may no longer physically be there in his life, her love and dedication remain with him forever.
