Jennette McCurdy and her family were hit with some tragic news today: The actress’ mother, Debra McCurdy, finally lost her battle with breast cancer and passed away. Jennette, the star of Nickelodeon’s Sam & Cat , was especially close to her mom and canceled a hosting gig in New York City after receiving the sad news. Debra had battled her disease for 17 years.
