BATON ROUGE - Sandy Bertman, the wife of former LSU baseball coach and athletics director Skip Bertman, passed away Thursday. She was 87. 

Sandy and Stanley "Skip" met in Florida in 1961. They were married for 63 years and raised four daughters as well as four grandchildren. 

Louisiana State University says Sandy was a "tremendous" source of strength for Skip Bertman during his tenure as LSU baseball coach (1984-2001) and athletics director (2001-08).

She is preceded in death by her daughter, Dr. Lisa Jo Bertman Pate, who died in 2012 after a battle with cancer. 

Sandy Bertman's visitation will be at Wednesday, March 19 at the United Jewish Congregation of Baton Rouge from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., followed by a funeral service at 11 a.m. with a reception afterward.
