Cancer claims wife of Jazz broadcaster
Jackie Boone, 62, passed away Tuesday night at the Huntsman Cancer Institute following a long battle with cancer.
She is survived by her husband, Ron; a son, JaRon; a daughter, Jozette; and three grandchildren.
Ron Boone, currently the Jazz's television analyst, has worked Jazz-game broadcasts on radio and/or TV for the last 19 seasons.
Boone also played 13 seasons for six teams in the ABA and NBA and helped the Utah Stars to the 1970-71 ABA championship. He played 127 regular-season games as a guard for the Jazz from 1979-81.
