Thea Williams, KVUE Daybreak and Midday executive producer, died Wednesday night after a lengthy battle with breast cancer. A short tribute, in which Williams is remembered as “a talented journalist, a leader in the newsroom and a friend,” is posted below.
Thea was one of the nicest, most professional journalists I ever had the pleasure of working with. In a field woefully lacking in both these days, she was a standout and will be greatly missed. My sympathies to her family and many, many friends and colleagues.
So sorry to learn of the home going of Thea. My last time spent with Thea was at the UT Reunion building dedication of Mamma Durres. She was her typical poised, friend, funny and gracious self. I have a beautiful picture of her on that day and will forever remember her as such. My condolences, our condolences.
This is very sad news. Thea was one of the best producers I have ever had the privilege to work with. She was kind, funny and a pleasure to talk to. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family, friends and colleagues who loved her. She will be missed.
I am so sad to hear about Thea's passing. She was always gracious and helpful. We worked with her over many years and appreciated her professionalism and the fact that no matter whether the story ideas we suggested fit her needs, she was always willing to listen and kind in her response. She will, indeed, be missed.
