The Lakers said goodbye to their First Lady on Sunday, as the team announced that Marge Hearn — the widow of legendary broadcaster Chick Hearn — passed away the night before of natural causes.
"We are very sad at the passing of our beloved Marge Hearn," team President and co-owner Jeanie Buss said in a statement. "We consider ourselves blessed and fortunate, however, to have had her be a part of the Lakers family for six decades. She was truly the First Lady of the Lakers, sitting alongside her husband, the voice of the Lakers, Chick Hearn."
Marge, 98, made frequent cameos during Chick's play-by-play — often at her own expense.
