Kathy Giacalone Siragusa Was Tony Siragusa's Wife for 27 Years & Became Mom to 3 Kids

Kathy Giacalone Siragusa's marriage to the late football player Tony Siragusa was marked by strong support and trust. She remains committed to embodying these qualities for their children.

Tony "Goose" Siragusa was a prominent athlete in the National Football League (NFL) and displayed his athleticism on two teams during his career. His success wouldn't have been possible without the support of his wife, Kathy Giacalone Siragusa.

Kathy stood by Tony's side long before he gained fame in the NFL. Even after his death last year, she remains committed to preserving his legacy in the form of a foundation, together with their three kids.

Kathy Giacalone Siragusa Had Been with Tony since High School

Kathy is the widow of former NFL star Tony Siragusa, who passed away at 55 in June 2022. The CEO of Indiana Colts, Jim Irsay, shared on X about the footballer's death.

Kathy's husband was a defense tackle for the Colts from 1990 until 1996 and then for the Baltimore Ravens from 1997 until 2001 when he retired and became a sideline reporter. He also had a brief career in hosting and acting.

He appeared in the series "The Sopranos" for two episodes as the driver and bodyguard for late actor James Gandolfini's character Tony Soprano. The show's prominent stars were Drea de Matteo and Michael Imperioli.

Kathy had been with her husband since they were young. According to Tony's 2012 autobiography, "Goose: The Outrageous Life and Times of a Football Guy," Kathy had been with Tony since high school.

She supported Tony long before he joined the league, something the late athlete deeply admired. As a devoted partner, she was always there to comfort him. The late NFL star stated in the book:

"I know plenty of women from being in the league who wouldn't have stuck around for that. She reminds me of that a lot. She says, 'I was with you when you had nothing.'"

Kathy and her husband tied the knot in April 1995 and enjoyed marital bliss for 27 years. In a 2019 wedding anniversary post, Kathy's former spouse called her "the love of my life."

Inside Kathy Giacalone Siragusa's Family Life

Kathy's presence graced Tony's Facebook and Instagram profiles, offering glimpses into their beautiful married life and journey through parenthood.

The couple shares a love for travel, embarking on unforgettable adventures to Germany, Belgium, Austria, and Anguilla. They enjoyed beach outings, boat rides, and immersing in Wyoming's landscape with their children.

The duo share three lovely children: daughters Samantha and Ava, their daughters, and son, Anthony. Kathy has been present in their kids' lives, and Tony enjoyed sharing these special moments.

He shared photos of Kathy at Samantha's high school graduation in 2015, Anthony's junior prom in 2017, and the bittersweet moment they sent Ava to school in South Carolina in 2019.

Kathy Giacalone Siragusa Establishes Foundation in Husband's Honor

Kathy lives a private life, and she maintains a private Instagram page. After Tony's passing in June 2022, she and her children established Goose Flights in September of the same year, with Samantha as its president, continuing Tony's legacy of giving back.

The foundation is devoted to providing transportation assistance. Its mission is to help those facing economic challenges access medical care and travel home without financial worries.

Goose Flights operates under Titan Aviation, a private aviation company founded in 2014 through the collaborative efforts of Dirk Vander Sterre Jr. and Tony.

Despite the recent loss of their father, the siblings found comfort in coming together to celebrate Tony's birthday in May 2023. In a touching gesture, they combined the occasion with Mother's Day, honoring both Kathy and their grandmother.

They gathered for brunch, creating cherished memories and allowing Kathy the joy of holding a sloth, her favorite animal. The occasion ended with a beautiful sunset they believed was a tribute from their late father.
