Winnie Johnson died peacefully in the early hours of Saturday morning, her solicitor, John Ainley, confirmed.
The 78-year-old was being cared for at a hospice in Manchester. She had fought a long campaign to get her son's killer, Ian Brady, to reveal where the body was hidden.
Her death came only a day after police said they were investigating claims Brady may have revealed information about the grave in a letter given to his mental health advocate Jackie Powell.
In a statement released by her family, they described how she had "fought tirelessly for decades" to find her son's body and had hoped to give him a Christian burial.
They said that they would continue her fight.
