Martyl Reinsdorf, the wife of longtime Chicago White Sox and Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf, died Monday after a long illness, the major league team said in a news release.
Martyl Reinsdorf, 85, designed five of the six Bulls NBA championship rings, as well as the White Sox's World Series championship ring in 2005. She was as philanthropic as she was creative, helping to distribute over 1 million coloring books, crayons, markers and toys to hospitals, orphanages and shelters around the world, according to the release.
"My mother had such a heart for children," her son, Bulls COO Michael Reinsdorf, said.
