Beloved TV star dies of cancer aged just 61
She spent more than 30 years becoming a familiar face in Canadian living rooms, yet her final chapter unfolded far from the studio floor.
Surrounded by family, she slipped away at 61, leaving behind a legacy of sharp questions, quiet compassion, and unwavering professionalism.
From Global News to CTV, from early mornings on Canada AM to anchoring major breaking stories, she carried the weight of public trust with rare grace.
Her interviews with figures like Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Donald Trump, and Chris Hadfield weren’t just celebrity moments;
they were proof of how deeply she understood the people behind the headlines.
Honoured with a lifetime achievement award just last year,
she lived long enough to hear, clearly, how much she mattered. Colleagues called her a trusted voice.
Viewers felt she was family. Now, the silence where her voice once was feels impossibly loud.
