Lula Mae Hardaway, mother of singer Stevie Wonder, has died. She was 76.
Hardaway died May 31 in Los Angeles, Wonder's publicist Shelley Selover said Thursday.
She did not know the cause of death.
"To us you are and always will be our everything! God blessed us with our only living angel," said a memorial comment from Wonder and other family members included in an obituary for Hardaway's Thursday funeral in Los Angeles.
Hardaway is credited as a co-writer on several of Wonder's songs, including the hits I Was Made to Love Her and Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours.
Hardaway was born Jan. 11, 1930, to a sharecropper in Eufaula, Ala. Her life was marked by poverty and abuse, according to interviews she gave for a 2002 biography, Blind Faith: The Miraculous Journey of Lula Hardaway, Stevie Wonder's Mother.
