Angelina Jolie plans to pay tribute to her beloved mother on the first anniversary of her death by holding a day-long vigil commemorating her life.

On Sunday the Tomb Raider star will visit LA’s Cedars-Sinai hospital where Marcheline Bertrand died aged 57 after battling ovarian cancer.

She will make a donation to the hospital’s women’s cancer research fund in her mother’s honour.

Ange, 32, her brother James Haven, 34, partner Brad Pitt, 44, and the couple’s children Maddox, 6, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 1, will also visit Marcheline’s grave.

Later, the actress intends to show her kids photos of their grandmother and cook her favourite meal – thick vegetable soup, reports the Daily Express.

But there are fears that the poignancy of the anniversary will prove too much for the Hollywood star.

‘Angie still weeps for her a lot and James has been saying how he’s worried she will fall apart on Sunday,’ reveals a close friend of the family.
