John Madden wife: Who is Virginia Fields?
At the time of his death, John had been married to his wife Virginia Fields for 62 years.
The couple first tied the knot on December 26, 1959, in a marriage ceremony that took place inside the St Mary of the Assumption Church in Santa Maria.
According to reports, they first met in a bar in Pismo Beach, California.
Although little is known about Virginia’s career, it is believed that she was responsible for taking care of various antiques that the family-owned.
Those items reportedly included a highway YIELD sign, which Ted Hendricks, the three-time-All-America linebacker, gifted to Madden when he retired.
The couple also shared two kids together Joseph and Michael who they brought up in Pleasanton, California.
When John retired in 2009, everything changed in their lives.
He was spending all of his time with his wife and family.
