Kelly Pierce, a former player and coach for women's soccer team FC Tucson, has died suddenly at the age of 43.

The team made the announcement on Saturday. According to Tucson.Com, she died on Friday at the age of 43 from sudden cardiac arrest.

'Kelly was a talented and charismatic leader both as a player and a coach,' Tuscon founder Jon Pearlman said in a statement.

'She was committed to elevating not just women’s soccer but all women’s sports as a champion for gender equality. Most importantly, Kelly was a devoted mother and fierce advocate for not just her children or young female soccer players, but all children.'

Arizona-based Pierce, who was coaching at Salpointe Catholic High School, leaves behind three sons and a partner, Joey. She won six state championships in eight years at Salpointe and also played for the team in her youth.

'It is with heavy hearts that the Salpointe community shares the news of varsity women’s soccer Coach Kelly Pierce’s passing,' the school said

The current Tucson women's head coach Caylee Carter said Pierce was 'a role model who paved the way for female equality in the community.'

Carter added: 'I am heartbroken by her sudden passing. She leaves behind more than a legacy but a community of players, coaches, friends and family who will miss her deeply

#58: "Never heard of Joey Heatherton I guess."

Of course you have heard of her. She's Lola Heatherton's sister.

devoted mother, but but... where is the father... probably sued into oblivion by this very woman who is an advocate of gender affirming equality... hero to young women, that eschewed the role of wife.

did she push the vaccine on her team members?
did she support getting them abortions, or the morning after pills?

my guess... joey is short for jolene or joy... and there is no evidence to indicate that she is heterosexual mother or wife.

a pro-government, tuscon democrat liberal...

this pre—spin article is designed to trigger heated debate on the dogma she represented from the homo/lesbo, pro abort, anti biblical... lefties.

Unattended unexpecteds used to require autopsies in many jurisdictions.

But in the last few years there have been changes to state/county laws in a lot of areas that give far more leeway to coroners.

Coinkydink...?

What they should be doing is monitoring closely the total mortality by age versus expected since 2019. They probably are but are not widely publishing the results and asking uncomfortable questions.

What a pathetically ignorant comment.
