Lori Paris, who became both a mainstay of the airwaves during her decade as a Canadian Press broadcaster and a beloved newsroom leader, died suddenly over the weekend at the age of 46.
Paris developed necrotizing fasciitis after she fell while walking her much-loved dog this past week and died on Saturday morning at the Toronto Western Hospital, her sister said.
"She was an excellent broadcaster. She loved radio. She knew what made good radio and she liked to be part of creating that, that was her skill and her passion," Rose Kingdon said Sunday in a phone interview.Kingdon described Paris as having a"magnetic personality," which helped her make friends with ease.
"I was in constant awe of how fearlessly and vigorously she travelled the world. She’d spend hours planning, plotting, fixing her layovers to absorb as much as she possibly could," Beth Paris wrote. "Food was our conversation, food was our love. Food was our passion. Food was her love language," Tragni said in an interview Sunday, recalling the croquettes, empanadas, paella and other elaborate dishes she made.
Tragni said her love of animals extended beyond her pets, and she would go to great lengths to help injured birds or squirrels she encountered on her walks. In 2021 she became an after hours editor and newscaster, guiding the company’s overnight news coverage.
