'Business journalism is never going to be the same': Fox News presenter Brenda Buttner dies aged 55 after cancer battle

Fox News correspondent Brenda Buttner died Monday aged 55 after a cancer battle.

Tributes poured in for the long-time host of the network's financial segment 'Bulls & Bears'.

Colleagues painted the picture of a modest intellectual, far more concerned with the little things in life, who inspired many with her sharp wit and caring nature.

For eight years from 1990 to 1998, she hosted CNBC's 'Money Club' before joining Fox News in 2000 where she remained for the last 17 years.

Buttner famously told the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel in 1997: 'Women are not afraid to simply admit they don't know about something, which men rarely do, so women realize there is no such thing as a stupid question when it comes to understanding an investment.'

Fox News host Neil Cavuto commented on the quote as he announced her passing on his show, 'Your World' on Monday evening.

He added: 'The thing is, Brenda didn't ask stupid questions.

'In her sickest moments, battling an unrelenting cancer, there was Brenda, cheering you on,' he said.

'Business journalism is never going to be the same. I just don't know, now that she's gone, whether we'll ever be.'

'Brenda's captured what really mattered in life,' he said.

For Brenda, that was her daughters, animals, and her surprising love of motorcycles.

'No bravado, just brave,' Cavuto continued.

'Incredibly brave.'

Fox News contributors Julie Roginsky and Nomiki Konst also tweeted their heartbreak at the news of Buttner's passing.

The reporter graduated near the top of her class at Harvard University and spent two years as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University in the 1980's, according to Fox News Insider.
