Sir Alex Ferguson, his children, grandchildren, and relatives said goodbye to his wife of nearly 6 decades. Sir Alex’s wife passed away on October 5, at the age of 84.

Mrs. Cathy’s coffin was carried into the church in Glasgow. In his eulogy, Sir Alex’s son Jason said his mother had been seriously ill a few weeks before her deаth. Two days after Mrs. Cathy passed away, the Ferguson family welcomed a baby girl who was their great-grandchild.

The legendary coach of MU talked with the priest before the ceremony. Mrs. Cathy played an important role in her husband’s illustrious military career. Not liking football, Sir Alex’s wife takes care of the home and educates the children well so that her husband can focus on his career. ‘My mother supported my father when he was a player. As has been said a million times before, Dad could not have achieved success without Mom. I once heard my father sаy that what my mother did was a sacrifice, but for her it was not like that. Taking care of family is what she wаnted to do and what she did best,’ Jason Ferguson wrote in his eulogy.

Sir Alex and Mrs. Cathy met in 1964 and married in 1966. The couple has three sons and 12 grandchildren. Eldest son Mark, born in 1968, works in banking, and twins Darren and Jason (born in 1972) both work related to football. In his biography a few years ago, the military leader born in 1941 wrote about his wife: “I was fortunate to meet a wonderful girl who has been my fulcrum for the past 50 years.
