The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Sunday Jackie Riles, who was known as "The Pillow Lady," died of natural causes at 82 years old.

The team provided more images of the superfan on their Facebook account.

As Jenna Laine of ESPN noted, Riles knitted more than 4,000 custom pillows for Buccaneers personnel since the franchise's inception in 1976. The gifts went to everyone from players and coaches to staff and media members.

The Pillow Lady would wait outside the team entrance for every home game on Sundays as well as the Saturdays before away games, when she would wave at the team bus.
