NASHVILLE, Tenn. A Nashville TV reporter who covered Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and the war in Iraq and Afghanistan has died after a battle with cancer.
Dana (DA’-nuh) Kaye had worked at W-T-V-F T-V. She died this morning at age 50.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
Kaye survived a recent bout with breast cancer and had returned to work at the Nashville C-B-S affiliate. Last summer, she was reporting live from downtown when she suddenly had trouble speaking. Doctors found an aggressive form of brain cancer.
Before joining W-T-V-F, she was a reporter for Baton Rouge, Louisiana T-V stations W-B-R-Z and W-V-L-A, and K-L-T-V T-V in Tyler, Texas.
A scholarship fund has been set up for Kaye’s daughter. The family is also urging donations to the American Cancer Society.
