Wow... I'm shocked. She seemed like a very a nice woman and a great mother.

Deepest condolences to Elliott and his family.

That's sad. She seemed like a genuinely nice woman who raised a genuinely nice son.

Here is a short obit from a local paper.

Claudette Yamin, mother of singer Elliott, dies at 65

By the Associated Press

April 1, 2008

RICHMOND, Va. - The mother of former "American Idol" contestant Elliott Yamin has died at the age of 65.

Yamin spokeswoman Monet Corso says Claudette Yamin died at Henrico Doctor's Hospital in Richmond on Monday night. The cause of death is not being released, but Corso says Yamin had complications over the last year stemming from hip replacement surgery.

Elliott Yamin came in third during the fifth season of the Fox television show. During that time his mother became a celebrity in her own right.

Really sad. Elliott and his family will be in my prayers. Im glad she saw her son become successful in following his dreams. She raised such a nice son.

She suffered from lots of problems, apparently. Even during AI5 she wasn't at her best and was hospitalized for a while, Elliott mentioned it once.

She probably never recovered from a hip replacement surgery.
