Virginia Halas McCaskey, the longtime owner of the National Football League’s Chicago Bears, has died. She was 102.

McCaskey took over principal ownership of the Bears in 1983. She was preceded by her father, George Halas, who founded the Bears organization over 100 years ago in 1920. McCaskey’s death was announced by the Bears and confirmed by her family on Thursday.

“While we are sad, we are comforted knowing Virginia Halas McCaskey lived a long, full, faith-filled life and is now with the love of her life on Earth,” McCaskey’s family said in a statement. “She guided the Bears for four decades and based every business decision on what was best for Bears players, coaches, staff and fans.”
