“Mrs. Foley’s Baby Boy” Mick Foley Shares Heartbreaking Family News

In sad news, Mick Foley announced on January 26, 2026, that his mother, Beverly, has passed away after a prolonged battle with dementia. In a Facebook tribute, the 60-year-old described her as intensely private and noted that she had requested no funeral or obituary, yet he still wanted to publicly acknowledge her passing. The WWE Hall of Famer was famously referred to on television as “Mrs. Foley’s Baby Boy,” ensuring his mother will live on in the consciousness of wrestling fans for a long time.

“GOODBYE MOM it is with a heavy heart I share the news of my mother’s passing, following a long battle with dementia. My mother was an intensely private person – so much so that I pleaded with WWE not to show her in the crowd at a 1997 MSG show – and I have struggled in trying to decide whether I should make her passing public. Her will specified there would be no visitation, no funeral; not even an obituary – but in the end, we as a family felt it would be good for all of us if there was a tribute of some kind to a remarkable woman.”Mick Foley

Foley grew up on Long Island, New York, with his parents, Jack and Beverly, and his brother, John, and later married his wife, Colette, in 1992. Going on to become the ultimate family man, he would have four children, three being sons Dewey, Mickey, and Hughie, plus a daughter named Noelle. However, despite his long-standing popularity among wrestling fans, he recently caused controversy by cutting ties with WWE over its support for Donald Trump.
