Carolyn Budde: Who is Ed Budde’s wife?

Ed and Carolyn Budde tied the knot while in high school and had their first child, Brad, in May 1958, about the same time Ed got his high school diploma.

The two were married for 65 years, according to NPR.

Apart from Brad, the couple were parents to Tionne Ellegard and John Budde.

Budde was born on Nov. 2, 1940, in Highland Park, Michigan.

He was a standout at Denby High School in Detroit before heading to Michigan State, where he was an All-American in 1962 under Hall of Fame coach Duffy Daugherty.

Budde was one of the leaders of fearsome Chiefs teams that won AFL titles in 1966 and 1969, then beat the Vikings in Super Bowl IV.

He was a five-time AFL All-Star and was chosen to two Pro Bowls once the league merged with the NFL, and he was chosen as a member of the All-AFL Team before his retirement following the 1976 season.
