Publicist, White Sox part-owner dies

Marjorie Ann "Margie" Norton was, above all, a fighter, her mother said.

After enduring a horrific motorcycle accident while studying abroad during her junior year at the University of California, Los Angeles, Norton fought her way back to complete college.

And despite years of setbacks from a knee transplant she underwent after that accident, she worked for 15 years in Chicago's public relations and marketing industry before illness forced her to give up her career, her mother said.

Margie Norton was an avid Chicago sports fan and part-owner of the Chicago White Sox, and before she became too ill to attend, she and her mother, Carol "Mickey" Norton, usually could be found in their front-row seat at all Sox games - or second-row courtside at Chicago Bulls games.

Norton died on July 21 of complications from esophageal cancer. She was 53.
