On Thursday morning, the Chicago Bears announced that principal owner Virginia McCaskey had died at the age of 102. McCaskey had presided over the Bears since 1983 and was the eldest child of Bears founder George Halas, one of the most important people in pro football history.

Chicago Bears owner Virginia Halas McCaskey passed away this week at the age of 102, leaving behind a long legacy at the helm of one of the NFL’s charter franchises.

When Virginia McCaskey would chart Bears games, she would have the pencil in one hand, her cards in front of her and a rosary in her other hand. The grace she exuded is how the Bears family remembers her.
