Colleen Howe: 1933 - 2009

from the Detroit Free Press,

Colleen Howe, the wife of Red Wings legend Gordie Howe, has passed away.

The Red Wings confirmed that Howe, who was known as Mrs. Hockey, died today in Bloomfield Hills. She was 76.

Colleen Howe had been battling Pick’s disease, a progressive dementia that alters a person’s personality, since 2002.

Full Story

Pick's disease sounds like a terrible infliction. I'm sure the Howe family would tell you the Colleen Howe they knew departed long ago.
