Dingell Statement on Passing of WEMU’s Lisa Barry
Washington,
December 1, 2021
DEARBORN, MI - Today, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement remembering long-time Michigan radio host and reporter, Lisa Barry: “My heart is heavy today as we mourn the loss of Lisa Barry, a long-time radio host and reporter, most recently for WEMU. Lisa was a seasoned broadcaster who brought realness into her reporting. We last spoke on air about the impact of 9/11 on our community and our country as a whole – she had a way of making you feel at ease and capturing the most important details in her interviews. One of her last segments focused on Michigan’s marching band drum major, and I know she will be cheering ‘Go Blue!’ from above this Saturday. She will be greatly missed by the Detroit community. My heart is with her family and friends as they navigate this difficult time.” ### |
