Kardashian Family Honours Late Grandmother on Birthday
Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner shared warm tributes to the late Mary Jo Campbell, known affectionately as MJ, on the day she would have turned 92.
The messages arrived only days after the family said goodbye to the beloved matriarch, turning a personal milestone into a moment of public remembrance filled with affection and reflection.
Kim posted an emotional note on social media after sorting through her grandmother’s belongings with Kris. “Happy Heavenly 92nd Birthday grandma! It's only been a week but wow the amount of things I've learned about you this week from going through all of your stuff with mom has been beautiful! I thought I knew it all! Makes me respect you and love you more if that's even possible. Today we celebrate you! I miss you like crazy and I love you endlessly my sweet grandma MJ,” she wrote. She accompanied the words with photographs from earlier birthday gatherings that captured happier times.
Kris Jenner offered her own simple yet touching tribute. Sharing images of her mother, she wrote, “Happy Heavenly Birthday Mommy. I love you.” The brief message carried the weight of recent loss while underscoring the deep bond the two women shared across decades.
Mary Jo’s passing had been announced by Kris on July 16 in a heartfelt post that described her as the heart of the family. In that earlier message, Kris recalled how her mother taught the importance of loving family fiercely, showing kindness, being present for loved ones, and never taking shared moments for granted. The words painted a portrait of a woman whose quiet influence shaped the entire household.
Fans of the long-running reality series remember Mary Jo as a familiar and gentle presence who appeared regularly on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Her marriages to engineer Robert Houghton and later businessman Harry Shannon formed part of her life story, yet it was her role as grandmother and mother that left the strongest mark. On this heavenly birthday the family chose celebration over sorrow, keeping her memory alive through private discoveries and public affection.
