Chris Affleck, the mother of actors Ben and Casey Affleck, dies at age 83 following a battle with pancreatic cancer, multiple outlets report. The Hollywood Reporter and others say she was diagnosed recently with pancreatic cancer and died on June 2, as announced by her family. Other sources, including the New York Post, describe that she received a diagnosis in December and was given about six months to live, citing her obituary. The reports also consistently identify her as a former schoolteacher. Several outlets add that she is involved in civil rights activism, and that she remained engaged with her family in her final days. The Vancouver Sun and Mint (India) say one of her “greatest wishes” was to live long enough to see her grandson’s high school graduation, which she reportedly attended shortly before her death. The Mirror likewise notes her final wish and repeats the timeline of diagnosis in December followed by her death in June. All sources attribute the cause of death to pancreatic cancer and agree on her age at death.
