For a dozen years, Jean Hill anchored the news at WKBW in Buffalo.

Hill left the station back in 2001 to work at a bank and have regular hours and make some real money. Sadly, this week Hill passed away after a fight with cancer.

"She was a beautiful girl and one of the smartest people I ever met," said WKBW Anchor Keith Radford, who worked with Hill during her entire tenure at the station.

I also worked with Hill at WKBW and I first want to say, she was a beautiful WOMAN and one of those very easy people to work with.

She did her job, did it well, and never got caught up in the newsroom B.S. and politics.

RIP Jean.
