When Virginia McCaskey would chart Bears games, she would have the pencil in one hand, her cards in front of her and a rosary in her other hand. The grace she exuded is how the Bears family remembers her.

Virginia McCaskey, who inherited the Chicago Bears from her father, George Halas, and largely avoided the spotlight during four-plus decades as principal owner, died Feb. 6 at 102. Mrs. McCaskey’s family announced the death but did not provide more details.
