The wife of Arkansas State coach Blake Anderson died a day after the school announced that he was taking a leave of absence so he could take care of her.
Anderson announced his wife's death on social media early Tuesday morning, saying that his wife, Wendy, was in "no more pain" and had "no more suffering."
"She passed as peacefully & gracefully as you could ever hope just a few minutes before midnight with me laying right beside her," Anderson said.
Wendy Anderson, 49, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017 as her husband took leave before the start of that season as well.
