It\u2019s unclear whether she will be present for the Monday, February 2, show amid her latest family struggles.<\/p>\n Savannah\u2019s father, Charles, died when she was just 16 years old. He was 49 when he died after suffering a heart attack. Meanwhile, the journalist has maintained a close relationship with her mother.<\/p>\n In 2020, she wrote a sweet tribute to Nancy for her 78th birthday. \u201cHappy birthday to a mother like no other,\u201d Savannah gushed. \u201cMy mom Nancy is my heart and my everything and my model for what a mother should be. Thank you, God, for her 78 beautiful years! Happy birthday, mama!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
