Mississippi News Anchor Celeste Wilson Dies Suddenly at 42

Celeste Wilson, a television news anchor in Mississippi who had recently joined WAPT as a weekend anchor, died suddenly from a heart attack at the age of 42, NBC’s Today show reported.

“We have some very sad news tonight about one of our own,” anchor Troy Johnson announced during a broadcast, according to Fox News.

“Celeste had only been with us a short time, but she had already touched us with her professionalism, warmth, and dedication to journalism,” co-anchor Megan West said on air.

WAPT President and General Manager Peter Keith remembered Wilson as someone who made an immediate and lasting impact.
“She was a joy to be around — a true professional with a smile that could light up a room,” he said. “In our newsroom, she raised the bar and brought out the best in others. Celeste believed journalism was a service — showing up, asking fair questions, and giving a voice to the unheard.”
