Former Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt — the winningest coach in Division I college basketball history, male or female — died Tuesday morning at age 64. According to her son Tyler Summitt, the sports great died peacefully at Sherrill Hill Senior Living in Knoxville surrounded by loved ones, ending her five-year battle with early onset Alzheimer’s.

Many who knew Summitt have remembered her and sent their support to her family. Knoxville mayor Madeline Rogero tweeted that the lights on Henley Bridge in the city will be changed to orange, white and blue Tuesday night to remember Summitt’s “deep devotion to Knoxville.”

President Barack Obama also sent his condolences to Summitt’s family and fans, calling her a “patriot.” In 2012, Obama gave Summitt the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Fans placed flowers, cards, basketballs and orange and white balloons at Summitt’s statute on the Tennessee campus, where she coached for 38 years.

Summitt became head coach of the Lady Vols at age 22 and represented the U.S. as a player in the 1976 Olympics. She was also the head coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team when it won the gold in the 1984 Olympics. Summitt also championed Title IX, the federal law which facilitated greater participation of women in formerly male-dominated sports.

In a piece for USA Today, Christine Brennan wrote that every woman who plays sports owes Summitt a thank you. “She turned a women’s sports team into a national brand in the 1980s and 1990s,” Brennan wrote. “And she did it not by playing by the old, demure, ladylike rules of women’s sports, but by crashing the boys’ sports party.”

After her diagnosis of early onset dementia, Summitt retired in 2012 and took the role of head coach emeritus. NPR reports that she said at the time:

“If anyone asks, you can find me observing practice or in my office. Coaching is the great passion of my life, and the job to me has always been an opportunity to work with our student-athletes and help them discover what they want. I will continue to make them my passion. I love our players and my fellow coaches, and that’s not going to change.”

Pat Summitt suffered six miscarriages before giving birth to her son Tyler. Tyler told USA Today in 2012 his mother’s grace came from her trust in God and that she often read the Bible with her players.

“I’d be remiss not to mention how much our faith has helped us,” Tyler said. “I have to think God has a plan.”

Tyler has said his mother’s faith has impacted him and that he feels God has given him an “opportunity to spread [his] faith through coaching” as he saw his mother do.

In a 2012 USA Today article about Summitt’s fight against Alzheimer’s, Kara Lawson, one of Summitt’s players, said the coach taught her many life lessons on and off the court:

“She taught us to maximize our time each day, giving everything you can. She taught us how to excel and about seeing things through to the end. We made that commitment to her, and it stays with you. It won’t change.”
