She worked as an anchor and reporter for NBC affiliate, WICU.

“It is with a very heavy heart that we have learned of the passing of our beloved Erie News Now news anchor Emily Matson,” read a statement from WICU’s parent company.

“Emily was a shining light in our newsroom, delivering news with a passion and love she had for the Erie community and Northwest Pennsylvania. We loved Emily dearly and our hearts go out to the Matson family and her husband Ryan at this time.”

Matson received two awards from the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters.

One former colleague wrote that was was “absolutely floored” by the news of Matson’s death.

“Emily was such a presence in the newsroom and in the studio, and I can’t count the number of times that I would stop by her desk to talk to her or just listen to her talk to others,” wrote meteorologist, Sara Tonks.

“She always had a way of drawing people in and making them feel welcome, and when I first started at ENN she made sure I was included in the Secret Santa gift exchange and got me a sign that says ‘Let it Snow… Somewhere Else – Erie, PA.’

“She made me, a stranger and a baby in the industry feel included and was always there with advice or ideas if I needed them.”

Katie McGraw, another former colleague of Matson’s called her death an “incredible loss.”

“I am heartbroken and truly gutted to share the news of my friend and former coworker’s passing. Emily and I worked together in Erie, PA for a few years,” wrote McGraw.

“She and my fiancé had the most lovely friendship. I have so many wonderful memories with her. She was hilarious, witty, kind, fiery, talented, fabulous and fun. She is already so missed.”
