"Adrienne from Brooklyn was our mom"— Fan's family appreciates Paul McCartney's gesture of mentioning her
After posting a TikTok video of identifying their mother Adrienne in Paul McCartney’s recent video, All four of Adrienne's children—one brother and three sisters—sat around a table in another video, talking about how their late mother was a Beatles fan while the band's music played in the background.
Panepinto, the late Adrienne's youngest daughter, mentioned that the family came across a YouTube video mentioning “Adrienne from Brooklyn” in 2016.
She also mentioned that despite their brother urging the siblings to go public with the same, they decided not to. However, Paul McCartney's video changed her perspective which she believes is a sign for the family to identify themselves as Adrienne from Brooklyn's family.
Panepinto told The Post—
“I feel like it’s a sign. Seeing this now, it’s a sign from her that, ‘I’m still with you guys.’"
Adrienne's son John D’Onofrio is a retired cop who mentioned in the TikTok video of the siblings that their mother must've been about 12-14 years old when The Beatles came to the U.S.A. He also remembered his mother telling him that she skipped school to go see the band.
He also mentioned that since Adrienne passed away in 1992, she wouldn't have been aware of the video. John D'Onofrio also mentioned that he recalls one of his late mother's record album sleeves with 'Adrienne and Paul' written in a heart.
