Crowd Pays Last Respects to "Mrs. Hockey"

Hundreds of mourners have gathered in the Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Hills to pay their respects to Colleen Howe, wife of hockey great Gordie Howe.

A memorial service began Wednesday morning at St. Hugo of the Hills Church.

Colleen Howe died Friday at the age of 76 after battling Pick's disease, a rare form of dementia similar to Alzheimer's.

She was one of the first female sports agents and was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in 2000 for her work with youth hockey
