Chicago radio personality Megan Reed passed away Sunday following a 17-month-catlle with breast cancer, which resulted in brain tumors.

She was 52-years-of-age, according to Chicago Media Writer Robert Feder at The Chicago Tribune.

Reed had been off the air since September 2014 when she went on medical leave as midday personality at Hubbard Radio AC WILV, now WSHE 1003. FM..

“At the young age of 52, we lost the most wonderful wife, mother, daughter and sister,” her husband, Steve Casey, posted in a Facebook tribute Monday. “She fought valiantly and taught us all not only how to live to the fullest, but how to live in the face of death. We thank you for the color you brought into all of our lives. You will be missed.”

Greg Solk, senior vice president of programming and operations for Hubbard Radio, said: “Those of us who worked closely with Meg just felt better being in her presence. In a business often filled with slightly self-absorbed people, Megan was the sweetest and kindest of souls who never saw herself like the ‘superstar’ we all knew she was.”
