SMU coach Enloe's wife dies after leukemia battle

SMU coach Jason Enloe announced that his wife, Katie, died Tuesday after battling leukemia.

Katie Enloe, the sister-in-law of PGA Tour player Hunter Mahan, was diagnosed in January with the disease, after discovering a lump in her breast during a routine self-exam. Enloe was admitted to MD Anderson in Houston, the nation’s top-ranked cancer hospital, and was expected to receive treatment there through August.

On the family’s YouCaring page, which raised more than $100,000, they revealed last week that the doctors recommended that Katie return home to spend time with her family. Jason Enloe wrote on his Instagram page that his wife died early Tuesday morning.
