On Tuesday, Mary Corey who was the first woman to hold the top editorial post at The Baltimore Sun newspaper, has died of breast cancer.

Moreover, Corey was named senior vice president and director of content at the Tribune-owned paper in 2010, overseeing all print and digital news operations and that she was the first woman to hold the post in The Sun’s 176-year history.

To say more, Corey joined The Sun in 1987 as an editorial assistant and was quickly promoted to features writer. She later served as assistant national editor and national correspondent. She held various editing roles in the features department from 1998 to 2003, and was promoted to assistant managing editor for features.

It's always unfortunate to loose such great people!
