Coe-Jones, 56, a native of British Columbia, died peacefully under hospice care with her family in Tampa, Fla. She is survived by her husband, Jimmy, son, Jimmy, in-laws Sandy and General James Jones, and brothers Mark and John Coe.

The three-time winner was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer in mid-March and she courageously battled it until her passing this morning.
