“Kappy” Leonard was known as the unofficial first lady of the news division. She was married to Bill Leonard, who was president of CBS News from 1979-1982, but had been been a correspondent since 1945.
“My mom’s life was intertwined with TV news,” said Chris Wallace in a statement. “She was married to two giants of the industry. And she was the den mother for generations of CBS News journalists. She was a savvy producer and editor. And a great many of her insights ended up on the air. In her spare time, she was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. 3 generations of Wallaces and Leonard’s miss her deeply.”
Norma “Kappy” Leonard passed away Monday night. She was 95 years old. Her funeral is set for Sunday
