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.

The cause of Bill's death was not revealed by the TV personality. Seeing the photo, it's evident that Bill was quite elderly, suggesting that his old age might be the reason for his passing.

In her Instagram story, Whitney wrote, "I have had probably one of the busiest weeks that I have ever had." She continued, "Tbh it has been a rough one. I have had to just put my head down and push through it despite how emotional it has been."

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."
