The Dallas Cowboys have lost a beloved member of the team and are paying their respects. But it's not a former player, coach or even an executive. It's a beloved fan.

On Tuesday, the Cowboys announced that they had heard of the recent passing of longtime superfan Ms. Carolyn Price. Price passed away this week after what was described as "a long health battle" and was 83 years old. She had been a regular at Cowboys games for 30 years, usually taking a spot in the front row and even meeting former Presidents on the football field.

"The way Ms. Price loved the Cowboys was truly priceless. She was one of a kind and expressed her special love and care for players, coaches, staff, and all things Cowboys, in every way she could for decades. We will always hear her voice calling out our names and offering her support. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones," the team said in a statement on her passing.

"Ms. Price has been attending Cowboys games for over 30 years, often getting a front-row seat to greet the players, coaches and especially Jerry Jones as they entered and exited the field.

"She was also a regular visitor at training camp, whether it was Thousand Oaks, Austin, Wichita Falls, San Antonio and most recently in Oxnard, where her voice would echo throughout the fields, leaving her mark as one of the more dedicated and passionate Cowboys fans we've ever seen."
