After the anchor’s death became public Keenan’s family released a statement using Mediaite.

“It is with tremendous sorrow that we report the passing… of a wonderful mother, wife, sister and pioneering financial journalist. Terry was a trailblazer who credited much of her success to her beloved mother’s emphasis on education, which led her to Holy Names Academy in Albany, NY, and a math scholarship to Johns Hopkins University,”the statement read.

Terry Keenan was the first financial journalist to report live from the New York Stock exchange.

The New York Post recently reported that Keenan kept Wall Street honest. The anchor saw business leaders as ‘screw-ups’ and often called them out in the pages of the Post. She even awarded an annual booby prize to a Wall Streeter.
“As her editor for many years I can attest to Terry being a feisty, take-charge journalist who cut straight through corporate-speak and tough economics jargon,” The New York Post’s Michael Gray wrote in a tribute article to Keenan.

“Even though her columns were filled with economics, the dismal science, they were notable for wit, candor and common sense,” said economist David Malpass.

Keenan’s former colleague and close friend Neil Cavuto gave an emotional farewell to his longtime friend reports TVNewser.

“Terry made you think. And sometimes, Terry made you angry,” Cavuto said.

Cavuto, also stated, that Keenan was always smiling. He added that she was never shy about pointing out “dark threats on the financial horizon even on the sunniest days.”

“Leave it to Terry to rain on an economic parade. Leave it to Terry’s passing to rain on economic reporting itself. We’ll miss you, friend,” Cavuto added.

Terry Keenan is survived by her husband, Ron Kass, her son, Benno Kass and sisters Linda Keenan and Joellen Gardner.
