Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell's daughter-in-law Meredith Hagner took to social media to share that she had lost a beloved member of her family.
The actress, 36, shared on her Instagram Stories many memories with her "mema," presumably her grandmother, who had passed away after living a long and storied life.
Meredith paid a sweet tribute to her late grandmother, sharing side-by-side photographs of her and writing: "My beloved Mema, the daughter of a coal miner.

Deeming her a "forever inspiration," she ended with: "I'll always love you, rest in peace," and included more throwback photos, including one with her father Ron Hagner as a young boy.
Meredith added a recent video of her Mema in Florida, where she had been visiting while working nearby, and recalled: "A little over a year ago, while shooting a particularly special job in Florida, I had the gift of living within driving distance to Mema and George.

Just weeks before her passing, Meredith and her husband Wyatt Russell, 37, welcomed their second child, a little brother for their son Buddy Prine Russell, who is now three years old. Boone became the eighth addition to the ever-growing Hawn-Russell clan, including three of Kate Hudson's children and three of Oliver Hudson's own.
On February 13, the couple welcomed their son Boone, and Meredith wrote on Instagram alongside the first picture of their newborn: "Boone Joseph Russell. Born Feb 13, a week before his due date. 8 pounds 3 oz of heaven. Hearts overflowing."
Over the holidays, Buddy turned three, and during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers with his dad Kurt, Wyatt dissected the dichotomy of celebrating Christmas and their son's birthday at the same time, and why it often doesn't go the way they planned.

"We do Christmas, 25th – we wake up, we do the Christmas. It's nuts. It's a disaster most of the day. It's great most of the day," he explained.
However, when it came time to get ready for Buddy's birthday, the day after Christmas, it seemed like their toddler was just as disinterested as his parents. "[He] goes to sleep, wakes up. Mer and I are like, 'Buddy, it's your birthday!' Like, 'Gotta get excited.'
"And he goes – and he's three – he goes, 'Ugh! Not now!'"
