The city of Boston is mourning the loss of Stacy Wakefield, the beloved wife of late Red Sox Hall of Fame pitcher Tim Wakefield. Stacy’s passing comes as another blow to the Wakefield family, who have already endured the loss of the iconic knuckleballer just a few months prior.
In a statement issued through the Red Sox organization, the Wakefield family confirmed Stacy’s passing on Wednesday. Described as a “beloved mother, daughter, sister, niece, and aunt,” Stacy touched the lives of many with her warmth, kindness, and unwavering support for her husband and family.
Surrounded by loved ones, Stacy Wakefield’s passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew her. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her legacy of love and compassion will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
Tim Wakefield, a legendary figure in Boston sports history, spent 19 remarkable years with the Red Sox and Pirates, earning two World Series titles and etching his name in baseball lore with his signature knuckleball. Throughout his career, Stacy stood by his side, offering unwavering support and encouragement as he pursued his passion for the game.
Beyond their contributions to the world of baseball, the Wakefield family was deeply involved in the community, with Tim serving as honorary chairman of the Red Sox Foundation. Together, Tim and Stacy made a lasting impact on countless lives, using their platform to give back and make a difference in the lives of others.
As the city of Boston mourns the loss of Stacy Wakefield, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment with those we hold dear. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wakefield family during this difficult time, and may they find comfort in the cherished memories they shared with Stacy. Her legacy of love and kindness will forever be remembered and celebrated in the hearts of all who knew her.
