Stacy Wakefield — the widow of former Red Sox great Tim Wakefield — has tragically passed away after a battle with pancreatic cancer, the team announced Wednesday.

She was surrounded by her family, friends, caretakers and nurses at her home in Massachusetts.

The news comes less than five months after the longtime MLB pitcher died from brain cancer at 57 years old … a loss that rocked the sports world.

The family released a statement on Stacy’s passing … saying, “Our hearts are beyond broken.”

“We will remember Stacy as a strong, loving, thoughtful and kind person, who was as down-to-earth as they come. We feel so lucky to have had her in our lives, and we take comfort in the fact that she will be reunited with Tim, the love of her life.”

The Wakefields also shined a light on those who took care of Stacy — doctors, nurses and caretakers — who were by her side since her diagnosis.

“We are eternally grateful for your unmatched care and support. And to all of you who have sent well wishes over these last several months, we truly appreciate your kindness.”

Tim — a two-time World Series champion and Red Sox Hall of Famer — and Stacy got married in November 2002.

Stacy and Tim are survived by two children, Trevor and Brianna.
