How did 'The Challenge' star Nany's mother die?
In a message cross-posted to Instagram and Facebook, Nany González wrote on Oct. 29, 2021, "Heaven received an angel yesterday. May you rest in peace, Mom. I will continue to make you proud, and not a day will go by where I don’t think of you and thank you for the life you gave me. To everyone who has reached out and sent their love to my family and I, thank you. She was loved by so many, and I pray to be half the woman she was. The strongest woman I know, my mother, Carmen Guerra-Ferry."
In the post, Nany included several childhood photos of herself with her mother. In 2020, Nany posted another tribute to her mother, calling her "Hurricane Carmen." She wrote, "My mother, my whole heart, the real OG. #HurricaneCarmen. Love you, Ma."

In the comments section of her original Facebook post, Nany's close friend Marie Roda wrote, "Truly one of my favorite people to have crossed paths with in this world. How lucky I am to have met her and see firsthand what made you the strong, beautiful, compassionate person you are today. I’m thinking of you and sending love to the entire family. Stay strong — you know she'd expect it. I love you so much."
With the one year anniversary of her mother's death approaching, many fans and friends are rooting for Nany even more on The Challenge: Ride or Dies.
