To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before Star, Lana Condor Devastated After Her Mom Passed Away

Lana Condor recently revealed that her mother, Mary Condor, has passed away. On Sunday, July 28, the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before star, 27, shared an emotional tribute on Instagram, posting a childhood photo of herself with her late mother, who is seen holding Lana and smiling at the camera.

In a heartfelt message accompanying the photo, Lana referred to her “beautiful, beautiful mama” and expressed her grief, recalling the positive lessons her mother taught her throughout her life.

“I’m lying here thinking about everything I want to say to you, how to put into words the sheer devastation of losing you and how it has carved me out and left me lost,” she wrote.

Lana described her disbelief, imagining that her mother was still alive.

“I keep thinking that you’ll call me right back. I keep thinking that I still have you here. I want, I need, you to know that every good thing I am, is because of you,” she wrote.

“You taught me how to love the world and others as if there was no such thing as hate. You taught me to always trust my gut and run fiercely with my instincts. You taught me empathy, in a world that needs much more of it. You showed me what unconditional kindness and compassion is, and that both should always be our first choice.”

Continuing her emotional tribute, Lana expressed how much she already missed Mary, who passed away several days ago.

“You infused our world with so much joy and warmth and color that I fear the sunrises will always now feel somewhat muted because you aren’t here to watch them with me, like we always loved to do,” she wrote.

“It’s only been a few days since I lost you, but I miss you like you’ve been gone for way longer and also like you just left. I hope you are running in the wind, and have all the answers to your everlasting curiosity.

I miss you with my whole soul. I used to say ‘I love you more than you could possibly ever know’ I hope now, wherever you are, that you know. You found me first, and I pray with everything that I am, that you’ll find me again. I love you endlessly.”

Lana signed off with “Love Lanzie” and added a dove emoji to the post. Many of her followers expressed their support in the comments section, including her To All The Boys co-star Madeleine Arthur.

“I love you so much, sister. Your mom was such a wonderfully special woman and will be in our hearts forever. Big hugs to you, Anthony, your Dad, and Arthur,” Arthur, 27, wrote.

Other well-known figures also offered their condolences.

“Oh Lana. Sending you all of my love. I’m so, so sorry for your loss.,” wrote Olivia Munn, while Kerry Washington added, “Sending love and prayers.”

Lana and her brother, Arthur Condor, were adopted from a Vietnamese orphanage by Mary and her husband, Bob, when Lana was four months old. In a past interview with Allure in July 2023, Lana praised her parents for encouraging her to stay connected to her cultural heritage.

“I’m Asian American. I grew up in a household that was not Asian at all, but my brother was Asian,” she said.

“My parents did a really fantastic job of always encouraging me to know my culture and my roots and where I came from. However, I kind of grew up the way they grew up.”
