Sandra Scully, wife of longtime Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully, died Sunday at age 76 after her battle with ALS, according to a release from the Dodgers organization.
Vin and Sandra had been married since 1973.
“We are saddened to learn of the passing of Sandi Scully, the loving wife of Vin and a dear member of the Dodger family,” said Dodger President and CEO Stan Kasten. “Sandi was Vin’s biggest fan and was always there in loving support of him at Dodger Stadium until she began her battle with ALS. She was truly Vin’s and the Scully family’s rock, and she will be dearly missed.”
Scully died after a several years-long battle with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, a neuromuscular disease that progressively leads to loss of motor functions.
She leaves behind her husband, Vin, children Catherine, Kelly, Erin, Todd, Kevin and Michael as well as 21 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, according to the release.
The family has requested its privacy, however, those wishing to make a donation are invited to do so to the Department of Neuromuscular Disease at UCLA/ALS Research in Sandra Scully’s name.
