BATON ROUGE - Margaret Lawhon started her career in TV news at Shreveport after she could not find her way into a radio production class at LSU and chose television production, leading her to 14 years at WBRZ.

For all those years, she was relentless, compassionate and a problem solver. She was able to make a difference and keep viewers informed on the latest medical news and breakthroughs.
