Kaye Cowher, Wife Of Bill Cowher, Passes Away At 54

by Jon Bois

You may recall that when Bill Cowher left the Steelers following the 2006 season, he cited the desire to spend time with his family. On Saturday, we have tragic news to pass along: Kaye Cowher, his wife, has passed away at age 54 following a battle with skin cancer. The two had been married since 1981.

↵Over at our Steelers blog, Behind The Steel Curtain, fans are mourning the Cowhers’ loss. Right now, our hearts are going out to a man who has demonstrated nothing but class, integrity, and respect.
