The mother of Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder died earlier this month, according to a statement released by the team. There was no cause of death listed for Arlette Snyder, who owned 6.5% of the franchise.
"Mrs. Snyder was a kind, gentle and generous woman who was loved and greatly admired by all who knew her," the statement read in part. "She will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts. The Snyder family requests that their privacy be respected as they grieve the passing of their mother and grandmother."
Snyder's father, Gerry, died in 2003.
