Allison Cowles dies at 75 from pancreatic cancer
SPOKANE, Wash. — Allison Stacey Cowles, a longtime civic leader and matriarch of the family that publishes The Spokesman-Review, has died.
The newspaper said Cowles died late Saturday night in Spokane from pancreatic cancer. She was 75.
Cowles met future Spokesman-Review publisher William H. Cowles III in Cambridge, Mass. The two married on March 28, 1959. William Cowles died suddenly in 1992.
In 1996, Cowles married Arthur Sulzberger, who was the chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the New York Times Co. The pair moved to New York, but recently returned to Spokane after both started having health problems.
