SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga announced that Barbara Ann Few, the mother of men’s basketball coach Mark Few, passed away on Friday.
She was known as a loyal supporter of the Zags and her family, often seen sitting with her husband Norm at the games.
The team posted on X:
“It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Barbara Ann Few on Friday, November 14, 2025. While we grieve deeply, we also rejoice knowing she is now dancing in heaven with her Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ.
“Baba” was a beloved mother of four, grandmother of eleven, and the cherished wife of Norman Few. She will forever be remembered as the
Gonzaga Grandma-lifting her arms in celebration every time the Zags made a shot, faithfully seated beside Norm through countless games over the past 25 years. She treasured the relationships she built with players, coaches, and fans, and she prayed faithfully and fervently for her Zags.
The Gonzaga family joins Mark’s family as we mourn her loss and honor a beautiful life, generously lived and deeply loved.”
