Carol Cafferty: CNN’s Jack Cafferty’s Wife Dies

September 6, 2008

CNN’s Jack Cafferty, host of Cafferty File, a segment on The Situation Room, was unable to tape his show today due to the loss of his wife of 35 years, Carol Cafferty.

In his book, Jack Cafferty talks about how his wife helped inspire him to straighten up his life.

“In all the years that we’ve been married, she has always brought to the table her unshakable grounding in something a lot more real than being on television or being recognized in the corner drugstore.

She has been my rock, having done a magnificent job of keeping me from getting full of helium and drifting off the surface of the earth…

Her death came unexpectedly and what caused her death has not been announced. She leaves behind her husband Jack, their two daughters, Leslie and Leigh, Jack’s other two daughters, Julie and Jill and his grandchildren.
