The mother to Mary Luswata passed away yesterday on Sept. 4th after being put off life support owing to a medically induced coma. She passed away aged 81 years old leaving behind two daughters, an American daughter and her adopted Ugandan daughter, a one Mary Luswata who works at Urban Television and Galaxy FM.
BigEye.ug could not get a statement from Mary Luswata over the passing away of her ‘mother’ Joan Alexandra Molinsky, known by her stage name Joan Rivers, an American actress, comedian, writer, producer and television host, best known for her stand-up comedy, for co-hosting the E! celebrity fashion show Fashion Police, and for starring in the reality series Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best? alongside her daughter Melissa Rivers.
Friends to Luswata also reveal that she feels too bad she hasn’t been using her other family name of Rivers just like her mother and sister. Luswata will be boarding a plane to attend the funeral ceremony in Manhattan.
We remember Joan Rivers with some of her best quotes:
1.. “People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.”
2. “I wish I had a twin, so I could know what I’d look like without plastic surgery.”
3. “The fun of working on the road means stealing from hotels. I’ve been doing it for so long, I have a set of towels from the Ark.”
4. “I don’t exercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor.”
5. “Thank God we’re living in a country where the sky’s the limit, the stores are open late and you can shop in bed thanks to television.”
6.”I was born in 1962 … and the room next to me was 1963.”
7. “I’m no cook. When I want lemon on chicken, I spray it with Pledge.”
8. “I am definitely going to watch the Emmys this year! My makeup team is nominated for “Best Special Effects.””
9. “At my age an affair of the heart is a bypass!”
10. “A child can be taught not to do certain things, such as touch a hot stove, pull lamps off of tables, and wake Mommy before noon.”
11. “My love life is like a piece of Swiss cheese; most of it’s missing, and what’s there stinks.”
12. “You know you’re getting old when you buy a sexy sheer nightgown and don’t know anyone who can see through it.”
13. “Looking fifty is great—if you’re sixty.”
14. “You know you’ve reached middle age when you’re cautioned to slow down by your doctor, instead of by the police.”
15. “The first time I see a jogger smiling, I’ll consider it.”
16. “There’s no one to call up and have the same memory bank. … Nobody wants to hear that you met Harry Truman. … I met Harry Truman. … But you know what I mean? Nobody’s interested. They want to know you met Rihanna.”
17. “I must admit I am nervous about getting Alzheimer’s. Once it hits, I might tell my best joke and never know it.”
