Albion are wearing black armbands at Newport County this evening in memory of Sue Addis.
Club owner and chairman Tony Bloom this weekend spoke about the support Sue and her restaurant Donatello have given the club over many years.
He said Albion were devastated to hear of her death, at the age of 69.
Bloom said: “Everyone at the club was devastated to learn the news. Sue had always been a great supporter of the Albion, and Donatello's is woven into the fabric of the club - both literally and metaphorically.
“As shirt sponsor, they supported the club in some of its toughest times and have remained as a loyal backer ever since, sponsoring the family stand and the dugout in recent seasons.
“And even more than that it is the warm and genuine welcome that players, staff and fans have always been afforded in the restaurants over the years. Be it our annual pre-season meal for the directors, staff and players, Christmas dinners or many of the charity fundraisers we've held at Donatello, Sue and her boys have always been fabulous hosts.
"We held our celebrations there when we were given permission to build the stadium and they opened the doors to film with US TV network NBC on our promotion to the Premier League, supplying hungry crew with endless pasta and pizza.
“Sue was a great supporter of the club, by our side or on our shirt through the good and bad times, and our deepest condolences go out to Sue’s family, in particular (husband) Pietro, sons Leo, Stefano and Mikele and her many friends.”
