NEW YORK — Brenda Buttner, host of Fox News Channel’s “Bulls and Bears,” has died after a battle with cancer. She was 55.

Buttner served as CNBC’s Washington correspondent and hosted the network’s “The Money Club” before joining Fox News in 2000.

Buttner graduated from Harvard University and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University.

Fox News host Neil Cavuto paid tribute to Buttner on his show, “Your World with Neil Cavuto”:

She took stock of life much more than any stock in life, Cavuto said. It’s what separated her from everyone else in this business. Not just dollars, you see, Brenda had depth. Let it be known that Brenda Buttner made us want to watch a business show with heart. Her heart, her spirit, Cavuto said. She democratized dollars and just made sense. Business journalism is never going to be the same. I just don’t know, now that she’s gone, whether we’ll ever be. Brenda Buttner, gone way too soon at 55.

Fox News announced her death on Monday.
