The beloved wife of Dodgers’ Hall of Fame announcer Vin Scully, Sandra Scully, has passed away. The family announced that she died on Sunday at the age of 76. Sandra had been battling with Lou Gehrig’s disease for several years and received care at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. She ultimately succumbed to complications from ALS. A statement was sent out saying, "The family appreciates everyone’s thoughts and prayers; however, they request their privacy at this time." The family is currently asking for any donations to be made to the Department of Neuromuscular Disease at UCLA/ALS Research in Sandra Scully’s name. Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten released a statement saying,
“We are saddened to learn of the passing of Sandi Scully, the loving wife of Vin and a dear member of the Dodger family. 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.”
