Ben Affleck has lost his beloved mother, Chris Anne Affleck, who passed away at 83 following a battle with pancreatic cancer. A Harvard graduate, public school teacher and lifelong civil rights activist, Chris was a devoted mom to Ben, 53, and his brother, Casey, 50, and remained her sons' biggest champion until the end of her life. According to her family, Chris's final wish was to see her grandson Atticus graduate from high school – a milestone she celebrated just two days before she died peacefully in her sleep last month 🤍 📸: Getty #benaffleck
