Happy Dos Santos, mother of singer-actress Tippy Dos Santos, has died after figuring in a vehicular accident with her husband John during a vacation in Seoul, South Korea. She was 58 years old.
Happy’s death was confirmed by her family on her Facebook account on Saturday, Dec. 30, which said that she “fought for her life” but that the Lord ultimately “decided to bring [their] beloved Happy home.”
“Dear family and friends, on Dec. 30th 2023, our beloved Happy passed away after suffering injuries from a traffic accident in Seoul, Korea. The hurt of this loss to our family is indescribable and we will miss her every single day,” the post read.

Tippy’s mother was described as the “light” of her husband’s “life and world” and is said to be the “most caring and loving mother any child could ask for.”
“We will never forget the love and happiness that she brought into our lives, and we know that she has touched many others the same way. Please continue to keep all the wonderful memories she shared with each one of you in your hearts. We love you forever dearest bride, mama, and Loli Haps.”
The announcement comes a day after Tippy took to her Instagram account to seek prayers from her followers, after her parents were involved in a car accident at what seemed to be a short getaway in the South Korean capital.
The actress-singer has yet to speak about her mother’s death on social media as of this writing.
