Jeanne Devolle (mother) Albert Chanel (father)
Jeanne Devolle. She died when Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel was twelve.
Jeanne Devolle died from TB in 1895 when Coco was 12.
Jeanne Devolle didn't give her children away, she died due to bad health, a rough life on the roads and the fact that she was almost constantly pregnant. Coco Chanel's father Albert Chanel was a poor traveling salesman who probably had many lovers in different cities. Therefore he didn't have any interest in taking care of five motherless children. It was better for him to start a new life with a new family. Since Albert Chanel travelled so much I also don't think that he did had a very good relationship with his children.
Coco Chanel's mother, Eugénie Jeanne Devolle, passed away in 1895. Her death had a significant impact on Chanel's early life, as she was only 12 years old at the time and subsequently placed in an orphanage. This experience influenced her later designs and business philosophy.
