George Clooney has announced the death of his ‘brave’ sister Ada, who passed away on Friday at just 65 years old. The Hollywood star revealed he lost his older sibling, saying she was the bravest person he knew<\/p>\n

Ada, whose full name was Adelia Zeidler, died after a hard-fought battle with cancer. She died ‘peacefully surrounded by the people she loved’ at St. Elizabeth Healthcare in Edgewood, Kentucky, <\/p>\n

George gushed over his late sister, telling PEOPLE<\/a> that she was his ‘hero.’ He went on to say: ‘She faced down cancer with courage and humour. I\u2019ve never met anyone so brave.’<\/p>\n

Ada appeared to also be close with George’s wife, Amal, <\/a>as he told the outlet that the human rights lawyer ‘will miss her terribly.’<\/p>\n

Ada worked as a primary school teacher for years and had a flair for the arts. It comes as no surprise, as she was born in Los Angeles on May 2, 1960, to journalist and TV host Nick Clooney and writer Nina Bruce Warren.<\/p>\n

Her obituary calls her ‘A talented artist, she shared her skills as an elementary art teacher at Augusta Independent School for several years.’<\/p>\n

‘In high school, her academic achievements qualified her to be a National Merit Scholar. Her love for reading connected her with other readers in a local book club. She was also a member of the Augusta Art Guild and was a past grand marshal of Augusta\u2019s Annual White Christmas Parade,’ it ended. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"George Clooney has announced the death of his ‘brave’ sister Ada, who passed away on Friday at just…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":204167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-204166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/204167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=204166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=204166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
