Stefanie Spielman, wife of Ohio State and NFL star, dies at 42 after long battle with cancer
By Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The wife of former NFL and Ohio State star Chris Spielman has died after a lengthy battle with cancer.

WBNS radio in Columbus, where Chris Spielman co-hosts a show, says 42-year-old Stefanie Spielman died Thursday at the family's home in Upper Arlington.

Stefanie Spielman was 30 years old and three months pregnant in 1998 when she detected a lump in her breast. She later miscarried and discovered she had cancer.

Chris Spielman was playing linebacker with the Buffalo Bills when he decided to give up football for a year to stay home with his wife and children. When his wife lost her hair because of chemotherapy treatments, he shaved his head.

Chris Spielman was one of the best Bills linebackers to ever suit up. My thoughts go out to him and his family.

Horrible, she was a very prominent figure in the cancer community and raised more than $7 million to help fight it.

Its been tough listening to 97.1 the Fan this week. No talk about The Game the last two days because of all the sadness around Stephanies passing. I was glad to the the Buckeyes honor her with decals on their helmets and I'm glad the Browns and Lions will be honoring her in their game.
