Rest in peace

Laura and I were saddened to learn of the death of Deborah Orin-Eilbeck. Deb had a distinguished, decades-long career as a journalist, covering every Presidential campaign since 1980 and joining the New York Post's Washington bureau in 1988. Deb fought a valiant battle against cancer with the same tenacity, devotion, and determination that she brought to her work in the White House briefing room through numerous Administrations.
Laura and I send our condolences to Deb's husband Neville Eilbeck, and to her family, friends, and colleagues. She will be missed by all of us at the White House who cared deeply for her.
Rest in Peace
Please post obituaries and more information here:
Oh no its true. May God Bless her family.
A conservative journalist IIRC
RIP.
May she rest in peace. I didn't know that she had cancer.
Stay off this thread.
If the President of the United States says she is a journalist, that is good enough for me?
Rest in peace, Deborah.
Im sure Tony Snow had something to do about the quick release. Im sure it hit hard and personal with him as well. So sad.
Rest in peace
I'm so sorry to hear this. She was an excellent reporter.
Enjoyed her work here in NYC for a long time. She had excellent journalistic instincts and was a great read.
God bless her and her family.
I didn't know she was sick. How sad.
She was a national treasure. RIP.
What a shock! Very sad. She was one of the very best.
What a terrible loss for her family, friends, and readers. She was such a terrific reporter, especially during the 2004 election.
I will miss her greatly. May she rest in peace knowing how much she was admired.
Deborah was one of very few whose byline required my attention. I'm very sorry to learn of her death, and I admired her in life.
