Stacy Wakefield, the widow of former Boston Red Sox pitcher Tim, died Wednesday.
Tim, notorious for his knuckleball during his 19-year career, died in October after a battle with brain cancer. Stacy, too, was battling cancer.
"It is with deep sadness that we share that our beloved mother, daughter, sister, niece, and aunt, Stacy, passed away today at her home in Massachusetts," the Wakefield family said in a statement. "She was surrounded by her family and dear friends, as well as her wonderful caretakers and nurses. The loss is unimaginable, especially in the wake of losing Tim just under five months ago. Our hearts are beyond broken.
Unbelievably tragic. I feel so bad for the Wakefield family. Losing one is tough, but losing both parents so close together has got to be such a huge punch in the gut.First Tim, now his wife has passed, a terribly sad day for that family and all that knew them.
