The New York Yankees organization is mourning the tragic death of a marketing executive’s wife who was killed during a storm Wednesday.

According to The New York Post, Catherine Tusiani, 50, was killed when a tree struck her vehicle in Armonk, New York.

Michael J. Tusiani is the senior vice president of partnership for the Yankees and has been with the team more than 20 years.

The team issued a statement on X/Twitter mourning Tusiani’s death, noting she was well known to many team staffers.

“Cathy was beloved by our front office staffers, who were privileged to experience and bear witness to her kindness, intelligence, sense of humor and great love for her husband, Michael, over the two-plus decades of dedicated service he has provided to the Yankee organization and the Steinbrenner family,” the statement read.

“As we share in the pain and grief with Michael, daughters Alexa and Julia, and the entire Tusiani family, the Yankees stand with them to offer our complete support and unconditional love as we navigate this unimaginable loss,” the statement concluded.

Tusiani was alone in her car at the time of the incident.

The MLB world shared its condolences with the Tusiani family.
