Nancy Leonard, the matriarch of the Indiana Pacers and widow of Pacers Hall of Fame coach Bob Leonard, died Tuesday night, the family has announced. Here is their announcement. Much more coming.
With sorrow, the children of Bob and Nancy Leonard announce the peaceful passing of our mother last night. Her health steadily declined in recent months, but her will to get the most out of life never wavered as evidenced by her insistence on attending Pacers games this past season at 93 years young. She will always be the Pacers #1 fan.
