New York, NY…The news was heart felt, most people in the community had not heard yet and came as a shock to them when they finally heard that, NY1 News Anchor Reporter, Ruschell Boone the only Jamaican born cables news reporter that covers Queens NY, had passed Sunday, September 3, 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

it was a wow moment for me because I had seen her few weeks before on NY1 12 o’ clock news hour., where she featured Morgan Heritage. Thereafter, not seeing her for the couple of days I thought that because of her health she must have taken more needed time off for better soothed rest and felt she was back too soon after her battle with cancer therapy treatment anyway. I noted earlier on my FB page that the night before I heard the news both my foot bottoms were itching and said I hope I do not walk on any new grave…not realizing the stunner that would come later on that evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boone was a multi award-winning Reporter at NY1 and serve 20 plus years doing a job she loved. Her rich spirit will no doubt resonate, and the loss felt. According to her bio, Boone’s accomplishments included: New York Press Club Award for Best Feature Reporting 2021, New York Association of Black Journalists award for best Spot News Reporting 2014, Queens District Attorney’s William Tucker Garvin Public Service Award 2019, City & State list of Queens Most Influential Leasders 2016, 2019, 2020. These awards leave no doubt that she would have break the glass ceiling down for Caribbean reporters who will sure follow in her footsteps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respectively, Boone had the uniqueness of a pretty smile, and I will always remember that. Even in the midst of her battle with…what we now know she had pancreatic cancer; she always kept her smile so that one would never know she was going through anything, let alone Cancer and fighting for her life. It reminded me of Michael Jorden, in the playoffs when he was so sick but kept playing and ended up winning the game… this spell champion and that she was. She said on her page, “Unfortunately my cancer has metastasized in my liver.” She had a blessed career and went out swinging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met Boone many years ago, when she came to VP Records to interview Mrs. Pat and saw her with the community for the last time at Jamaica’s 60th Independence Launch Party, at JFK Hilton 2022, has she danced the night away. NY1 reported that she did not want to leave her children. Simply put, Boone will be missed by all. She is survived by her husband Todd Boone and her two sons and family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
