SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH: Whitney Rose took to social media to announce the tragic loss of her grandfather Bill. 'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' star shared a photo of her late grandfather on her Instagram story, paying tribute to him. Bill died on January 15, Monday.

Whitney then shared with her fans, "We lost our sweet grandpa Bill on Monday and I have had to just compartmentalize the loss until today." Whitney continued to pay tribute to her grandfather. She writes, "Love you grandpa, thank you for all of the sweet memories. I am going to miss you."

Starring on 'RHOSLC' and being a mother were two concerns for Whitney. She expressed her worries about her children in the community, stating to Distractify, "I really worry for my children in the community, because what their friends' parents maybe now view, or think of Justin and I."

She added, "As wild as I am, as much fun as I have, choices I make, I'm a damn good mother and they’re my first priority. That was my biggest hesitation going into this."
