Dr Donda West died on Saturday in LA following complications with cosmetic surgery.
Earlier this year, she released the book Raising Kanye: Life Lesson from the Mother of a Hip-Hop Star.
She was also the chair of the Kanye West Foundation and was the inspiration for the rapper's song 'Hey Mama'.
The lyrics to the track from his Late Registration album include: "Hey Mama, I wanna scream so loud for you / cuz I'm so proud of you / I appreciate what you allowed for me / I just want you to be proud of me."
Donda West's publicist commented: "May Donda's work and deeds be an inspiration to each of us, may we start each day knowing that support of family and community are central to purpose."
