I always had much respect for Gwen. She seemed a genuinely nice soul.

Gwen Ifill, the longtime PBS news anchor who had served as a co-host of PBS’s NewsHour and as moderator of “Washington Week,” has died after a battle with cancer, PBS has confirmed. She was 61.
 
“It is with extremely heavy hearts that we must share that our dear friend and beloved colleague Gwen Ifill passed away this afternoon following several months of cancer treatment,” PBS NewsHour said in a statement on Monday. “She was surrounded by loving family and many friends whom we ask that you keep in your thoughts and prayers.”

I remember listening to her many years ago. I liked her. Thoughts and prayers for her family.


I tell you, cancer is becoming a menace. I know no less than four people who are actively fighting it right now, one of them being my husband's uncle. It used to be that you knew someone who at some point had it. Know it seems to be a wider threat.

Classy woman, very professional reporter and journalist.

 

61 is too young.

 

RIP Gwen Ifill
