Judy Coughlin, wife of former Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin died Tuesday morning at age 77.
Judy was by Tom’s side during his time as Jacksonville's first head coach in 1995 and as he led the Giants to Super Bowl championships in 2008 and 2012."Judy was a remarkable woman in every way. She lived a life filled with love and unselfishly gave her heart and soul to others. Judy made you feel like an old friend from the first hug to the last. She was a mother to all on and off the field.
Tom revealed last year that his wife had been diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy in 2020, an incurable brain disorder that deteriorates a person's ability to think, speak and control movement. In 2016, the year that he stepped down as the Giants’ head coach, Tom popularly said “Judy is my quarterback at home, Eli [Manning] is my quarterback here,” never neglecting to emphasize the importance of her role as the matriarch of their home.
“She was an incredibly bright light for all of us, and we were blessed that she shared her energy, vitality and love with our organization, '' Giants owners Steve Tisch and John Mara said in a statement Wednesday.
