Jane spoke out about her heartbreaking loss in a statement TMZ when the news of her daughter's death came to light.
“I am shocked by the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean; and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time.”
“If I can think clearly, I will make a fuller statement; but until then I would ask to be allowed to grieve in private.”
She added: 'No matter how deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be far greater.'
“So I would like to ask the sympathizer to say a prayer for my precious eight-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother.”
Fans may know Bobbie Jean from her appearance on the reality show House of Carters, which aired in 2006.
She, like her late brother Aaron and late sister Leslie, struggled with substance abuse.

Leslie died in 2012 at the age of 25 from a drug overdose caused by a toxic combination of prescription medications.
In June, Bobbie was arrested on shoplifting charges for an incident at Hobby Lobby and was placed on suicide watch after threatening to commit suicide.
Investigators discovered she was in possession of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid similar to morphine but 50 to 100 times more powerful.
If Bobbie Jean did indeed die of a heart attack, as her family reportedly believes, her drug use may have contributed, according to the National Library of Medicine.
Aaron's team exclusively told DailyMail.com in a statement that it has been a year of “such loss and tragedy” for the family.
