Two-weeks after her 64th birthday, University of Tennessee legend Pat Summitt has died.

Her son Tyler Summitt released a statement, "She died peacefully this morning (6/28/2016) at Sherrill Hill Senior Living in Knoxville surrounded by those who loved her most."

The obituary for the legendary coach notes, "On Tuesday, June 28 2016, Pat passed away peacefully, following a courageous battle with early onset dementia. This disease attacked a lifetime of precious memories, memories that she has now won back as she rests in her eternal home. Memories that will live on in each and every relationship she developed throughout her life."

At just barely 22-years of age, Pat Summitt was named head of the UT basketball team. In her 38-years at the helm, she lead the Lady Vols to eight national championships, 16 conference titles and 1,098 victories. Summitt was named NCAA "Coach of the Year" seven different times, and in 2012 was honored with the President's Medal of Freedom and the Arthur Ashe Courage Award.

She stepped-down as head coach of the Lady Vols in 2012. That was a year after Summitt had been diagnosed as having early onset dementia, a form of Alzheimer's disease.

For the past few years, Summitt has devoted her life to bringing awareness to Alzheimer's disease. CLICK HERE to visit The Pat Summitt Foundation's website to learn more.

US Senator Bob Corker commented, "I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Pat Summitt. Basketball has lost a legend, and Tennessee has lost one of its most beloved daughters."

The Chattanooga senator noted, "There is perhaps no one who left a more indelible mark on his or her profession than Coach Summitt. Through her 38 years as head coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers, she amassed a historic record of achievement and blazed a trail for women across our country. The impact she had on her players, the University of Tennessee, the Knoxville community, and the game of basketball will be felt for years to come. I join all Tennesseans today in celebrating her life and extend my thoughts and prayers to her son, Tyler, the Lady Vol family, and all those who were touched by her remarkable life."

Summitt was born June 14, 1957 in Clarksville. She grew-up on a dairy farm in Henrietta where in her youth she milked cattle and planted tobacco.

Her obituary noted that a private service will be held in Middle Tennessee, but a public remembrance at UT's Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville will be announced later.
