Just one day after losing her mother, Teen Mom star Mackenzie McKee broke her silence on Instagram to say goodbye and praise the many things her mom achieved on Tuesday, December 10.
“Momma @angiedouthit has crossed the finish line. She did not lose the battle, she one [sic]. She is healed and running in heaven in eternity. Idk anyone who left earth with such an impact,” McKee captioned the post, alongside a photo of her mom running on Tuesday. “Your entire life you never waisted a chance to let the world know Gods love. When we would try to brag on what an amazing person you are you would respond with ‘it’s not me, it’s God.’ Could you imagine this world if we all lived like Angie Douthit?”
The reality TV star also touched on all the positive things her mother did for others, despite battling cancer at the same time.
“She always said ‘it’s easy, we were put on earth to share Gods love.’ And boy did she. 700 daily post for you guys to read daily, hundreds of speaking engagements even when she could barely walk or speak, she simply trusted That God would speak through her,” the Teen Mom OG star wrote. “Momma, i did not deserve you. But you loved me so unconditionally. You were the glue that held me together. The one who always believed in me. Idk what I will do without you but I hope this goes by fast so I can hurry and come be with you.”
She concluded her post with, “You passed a torch down to us and I will not fail you. I will live for Christ and love like him like you always taught me. I will make you proud momma.”
On Monday, December 9, the family revealed on Douthit’s Instagram account that she had passed away. She was 50.
“On Monday, December 9 at 11:37pm, Angie finished her race,” the caption read. “Her last days were spent lovingly surrounded by family and friends as they prayed, sang, and shared funny Angie stories.”
In January 2018, McKee’s mother was diagnosed with stage IV brain cancer. Unfortunately, her cancer continued to spread over the year. In September 2019, Douthit opened up about her health during a Teen Mom OG reunion special.
“I’m unique from what my doctors tell me,” Douthit told the reunion show’s host, Dr. Drew. “I have non-small cell carcinoma in my lungs, which is lung cancer. Stage 4. I also have small cell carcinoma in my lungs, and that doesn’t happen. No one gets both kinds of lung cancer. A nonsmoker, a marathon runner, it’s just blowing everyone’s mind. … I have 10 tumors in my brain. I have a tumor the size of an orange in my right lung that was wrapped around my windpipe. There are so many tiny tumors in my lungs, I stopped counting on 40 on this side and just gave up on that side. It’s in my bones, it’s in my liver, it’s all over.”
