Legendary director Steven Spielberg’s mother, Leah Adler, has sadly passed away at the age of 97.

Leah was a restaurateur and Steven’s biggest fan. In his Oscar acceptance speech for Shindler’s List, he thanked his mom, who was sitting in the audience smiling from ear to ear.

Steven’s production company said in a statement to Hollywood Reporter, “While known for her red lipstick and Peter Pan collars, for her love of daisies, for her blue jeans and sparkly bling, for her dancing from table to table around the Milky Way, and for her love of camping, fishing, and crossword puzzles, Leah is best remembered for her deep, limitless love for the people around her.”

Her family asks everyone to donate to a favorite charity in her name.
