Elise Finch’s cause of death has not been ascertained yet. In relation to her obituary, her daughter Grace has confirmed the news sadly. Her employers have also sadly commented on her sad passing by saying;

“My heart is broken. Our team will never be the same. No one matched musical wits better. I’ll miss you much,” tweeted WCBS co-anchor Chris Wragge who worked with Finch on the morning news.

“My heart hurts. Elise Finch was our light, our rock, our dear friend. I am beyond saddened at the tragic loss of a woman I so adored and respected,” CBS2 News and Inside Edition anchor Mary Calvi said who also worked with Finch on the morning news.

“I am so devastated to hear of the passing of my friend and colleague @EliseFinch. She was the best. A caring soul,” tweeted Otis Livingston, WCBS-TV sports director.

“She was outstanding in front of the green screen. When she was in the field reporting live, she was even better,” lead weather anchor for WCBS-TV Lonnie Quinn wrote on Facebook. “If she had even attempted stand-up comedy, she would have brought the house down. In recent days, I would walk into work as Elise was heading home. If we didn’t talk, she would at least flash me a smile. That smile set the tone for my day.”
