Long before she became recognized as the wife of a baseball legend, she worked in the front office of the Pittsburgh Pirates<\/strong> \u2014 the team where Bill Mazeroski spent his entire 17-year Major League career.<\/p>\n

It was this job that brought her into Bill\u2019s life. The two met early in his playing career while she was employed with the Pirates\u2019 administration. Their connection quickly blossomed into a lifelong partnership.<\/p>\n

Marriage and Family Life<\/h2>\n

A Marriage of 64 Years<\/h2>\n
