Mary Wilson will be laid to rest Tuesday in Los Angeles in a private ceremony, her family told the Detroit Free Press.

The late Supremes singer and Detroit native will be buried next to her son Rafael [[Rafi) Ferrer, who was killed in an auto accident as a teenager in 1994.

Wilson died Feb. 8 at her home in Las Vegas, ruled to be the result of hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. She was 76.

Wilson was among the recently departed artists honored Sunday night during the 63rd Grammy Awards. Her passing was marked with an in-memoriam tribute featuring the Supremes' "Stop! In the Name of Love."

The family plans to hold a public celebration for Wilson later this year.

"Mary was always very conscientious about the COVID guidelines, so keeping with her wishes, the family will have a celebration to honor Mary’s life and legacy later this year with her friends, family and fans when we are all able to come together in person," they said in a statement.
