Raleigh, NC — A wave of sorrow swept through the family of country music artist Scotty McCreery on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, as they experienced the profound loss of both of his grandmothers within the span of just a few hours. This emotional double loss has touched not only his close circle but also resonated deeply with fans across the country music community.
The first loss occurred during the early afternoon when Scotty McCreery’s maternal grandmother, aged 85, passed away at WakeMed Hospital in Raleigh. She had been battling severe health complications, including norovirus and the flu. These illnesses led to dehydration and pneumonia, which ultimately became too difficult for her to overcome despite receiving medical care.
Only a few hours after this first loss, the family faced yet another heartbreaking moment. Around 4 p.m., Scotty McCreery’s paternal grandmother, aged 93, passed away following a period of gradual health decline. Her passing, though expected due to age-related conditions, intensified the family’s grief due to the close timing with the earlier event.
Scotty McCreery took to social media to share the news with his fans and followers. In a heartfelt post, he expressed deep shock and sadness, acknowledging the difficulty of processing both losses happening on the same day. His words quickly gathered support and condolences from friends, fellow musicians, and fans across various platforms.
The Raleigh community and country music supporters nationwide have since joined in offering sympathy and support to the McCreery family. Many have shared personal stories of losing loved ones, creating a collective moment of reflection and empathy. It’s a reminder of the personal challenges faced by public figures, often while maintaining their professional responsibilities.
Family members are reportedly in the process of making arrangements for memorial services. No public service details have been released as of now. Close friends and relatives are expected to gather in private to honor the lives and memories of both grandmothers, who were described as kind, family-oriented individuals.
Health professionals have highlighted that the combination of norovirus, flu, and pneumonia can be particularly dangerous for elderly individuals. These factors emphasize the importance of monitoring health conditions closely in seniors and seeking early medical attention when symptoms appear.
While Scotty McCreery’s professional schedule may pause during this period of mourning, fans continue to express understanding and support, hoping the family finds strength and peace in this difficult time.
