She was the mother to four children, Tommy, Sylvester, Frankie and my late sister Toni Ann. She was a remarkable woman working out everyday full of spunk and fearless . She died in her sleep as she had wished. It was hard not to like her, she was very eccentric and flamboyant person.

Jackie Stallone was born as Jacqueline Frances Labofish on November 29, 1921 and had run away from her home in Washington DC at a young age. She worked in a circus for two years and then became a chorus girl on Broadway. In 1945, she married her first husband Frank Stallone Sr, a hairdresser and an occasional actor, with whom she had sons Sylvester and Frank. The couple were together for 12 years. Her second marriage was with Anthony Filiti in 1959, with whom she had a daughter Toni D’Alto, who passed away due to lung cancer at the age of 48 in 2012. Jackie then tied the knot with her third husband, Stephen Devine in 1998. 

An astrologer, dancer and Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling's kayfabe promoter, Jackie Stallone had appeared in 2005 on the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother. Although she was evicted from the house after just four days, she went on to become one of the most revered and loved contestants to appear on the show. Apart from Sylvester Stallone and Frank Stallone, Jackie is also survived by seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
