After 65 years of marriage, Yogi Berra's wife Carmen Berra passed away after complications from a stroke. Carmen, who was 85 at the time of her death is survived by Yogi, age 89, three children, and 11 grandchildren.
Yogi, who often works with the Yankees during spring training as an instructor, did leave Yankees camp to spend time with Carmen before her passing. Carmen was a farmer's daughter from Missouri who later in life became a critical part in running the Yogi Berra museum at Montclair State University. The couple, who were portrayed in the Broadway musical, "Bronx Bombers," have been married since 1949.
Carmen Berra was laid to rest in an emotional funeral procedure on March 12. Yogi was surrounded by family, friends and Yankee personnel including Joe Torre, Brian Cashman, Randy Levine and Ron Guidry.
