Carol Bongiovi, Mother of Jon Bon Jovi, Dies at 83
Carol Bongiovi, mother of Jon Bon Jovi, and a familiar face to fans as the founder of the Bon Jovi band's fan club, died Tuesday at 83.
The death of the woman known to some fans as “Mom Jovi” came three days shy of her 84th birthday at Monmouth Medical Center, Long Branch, New Jersey. “Our mother was a force to be reckoned with; her spirit and can-do attitude shaped this family,” Jon Bon Jovi said in a statement announcing the news. For his “Story of Love” video in 2021, the rocker sang in front of a large black-and-white portrait of his parents in their youth, reinforcing just how long they’d been together — even as he alluded to his own longstanding union with his high school sweetheart, Dorothea Bongiovi.
