McEntire asked that fans make a donation to the Reba McEntire Fund to benefit the Jacqueline McEntire Library Fund in lieu of flowers.
"I'm so sorry to read this Reba," one fan wrote on Instagram. "I remember meeting her at the Opry one night. Prayers for comfort and peace to you and the rest of your family."
"My condolences to you and your family," one fan wrote on Instagram. "A mother's love is unconditional. May she rest in Heavenly Peace."
"Condolences to you and your family," another added. "May the love and memories hold and comfort you."
"I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this hard time," another chimed in. "Much love! Xoxo."
Fans also took to Twitter to mourn McEntire's loss. One fan shared a picture she took with Jacqueline.
In addition to McEntire, Jacqueline is survived by her children, son Pake McEntire and daughters Susie McEntire and Alice Foran.
McEntire's mother was a big supporter of her music career. In a 2016 interview with PEOPLE, McEntire said Jacqueline gave her the best advice she ever received.
"Mama always told me, 'Reba, it will be over in 24 hours. You can go stand on your head for 24 hours,'" McEntire said at the time. "That's really helped me to be my best self because I just focus on the task in front of me and I don't get overwhelmed about everything else. Don't stress so much over what happens tomorrow. Live today."
Susie McEntire also shared a tribute to Jacqueline on Facebook.
"Rest in deep peace Mamma," Susie wrote. "Say Hi to daddy for me. Kate and I, among 1000's will miss your grace, wit, generous heart and common sense. I love you and am so proud to alway[s] be your baby girl."
