I remember her. Its nuts how all these people stuck out, over any of the new ones today.

I grew up watching Lisa Thomas-Laury and admired her professionalism and grace. What a lovely lady!

Im literally in tears. I grew up near Philly.and these peoples voices and presence are like an extended family to me. Love em all. And that says alot for itself.....and those people....from a noon and evening news broadcast.

I will always remember when young Lisa back in the 1970's cryed on air when Jim Obrien died the great weather man. Loved how true her heart was and though I lost touch with Action news because I live in Texas I still have never gotten used to any news or local news since leaving N.J. back in 2007. I keep up with them through yube tube and will always love Channel 6 Action news!!!

I Remember Lisa Thomas's First Day WOW A True Television News Legend AWESOME God Bless You And Yours And THANK YOU Lisa

We all grew up with all these amazing people they made watching the news a pleasure. So many have been at action news a generation and what a generation of warmth and care they gave us all . We love everyone at 6abc action news. It’s 2023 and the eagles are in the super bowl next week fly eagles fly

God bless her! I watched her along with Marc Howard on Channel 6 Action News. Definitely a class act, indeed!

Lisa Thomas- Laury is channel 6 Royalty! I met her once. I've watched her from day 1. Congrats!

Lisa rules! She brought such class and professionalism to journalism.

Lisa you are truly missed! All the best to you😣

I remember Lisa Thomas Laury. When Jim O’Brien Died She was Crying saying she almost broke up crying Remarkable

Going to miss you Lisa Thomas Laury

Congrats Lisa on a fabulous career. Enjoy retirement.

Her husband was a doctor and worked with my grandfather (he was a nurse) before he passed.

Thank you Lisa thoms for your sto

I saw this the other day and it was sad. It was though a part of my childhood came to an end. I remember all those years ago when she did the noon newscast with Robin Wagner and also how she grieved when Jim O'Brien passed away in 1983. I do not know her personally, but she carried herself in a classy and professional manner on the air as both an anchor and journalist. I am sure her recent health battles influenced her decision to retire and I agree with this decision; her focus should be on maintaining her good health... she's made all the money she needs for the rest of her life between her and her husband.

Imagine if Miss Oprah would have been a reporter for Philly News!!! That is real deep my friend.

I never knew her connection to Oprah. Wow. And to think she was so professional at age 24 when she started at Action News. A true living legend in broadcasting. :-)

Lisa Thomas-Laury was a Class-Act in TV news broadcasting and the best at her craft. MATTERS PEOPLE PEACE&LOVE

Although I live in Arkansas, every summer since I was 9 years I stayed with my Godparents in Philadelphia. My Godmother watched the news religiously and I grew to LOVE watching her on the news. WoW... I think I loved saying her full name just as much as watching her. She definitely earned her retirement.

WPVI-TV PHILADELPHIA FAREWELL TO LISA THOMAS LAURY 1978-2016

Lisa has always carried herself in the style and grace of a queen. I've never met her personally ,yet I feel as though she raised me. She definitely raised the bar for minority female anchors in philly. Lisa may God bless you and your family and thank you for showing (us men) that there are beautiful black women who are classy in real life!

She beat Oprah out for the job at WPVI. That’s actually rather impressive.

I watched her through my years in Philadelphia to when I left for the Marines.

I’m a big fan of yours a i still love Lisa Thomas Laury

Always A Class Act!👍😊

I just her.she is a smart an beautiful lady.6 was so lucky to have her.xoxo.

Wow... Ms Lisa always reminded me of Jayne Kennedy. So pretty with a beautiful spirit inside and out. I left Philly for NYC in 94. I was unaware of her illness. So while viewing post on the late Jim O'Brien, I ran across this one. The whole Channel 6 family was prime time at best for their signature intro, to the beautiful people seen and unseen. All have are great memories of that crew. Thanks for posting this video clip... 😉

I know you’re we’re sick But you made it

Goodbye Lisa Thomas Laury

6ABC PHILADELPHIA FAREWELL TO LISA THOMAS LAURY 1978-2016

Great 👍

We'll miss you,Lisa Thomas-Laury

I moved out of the area and didn't know that she actually came back as an anchor I thought once she left with her health problems that she had permanently retired. I remember when she used to be on at lunch time with co-anchor Chris Wagner.. they seemed to be really good friends and then Chris was no longer there and had read in the papers there was an altercation and the parking lot between Chris Wagner and Lisa Thomas... they made it sound as if Chris Wagner tried to attack Lisa.. I found that hard to believe.. does anybody know what in the world happened ?

awww lisa

Great reporter and person. But all the people at 6 seem to be.

One thing for sure Jim Gardner aint goin nowhere

Date above reads "May 25, 2015".

I never met Lisa Thomas-Laury myself, but I've heard HORROR STORIES about her from friends who have. My friend interned at WPVI in the 90s and he said she was a monster and used to make the interns assigned to her cry frequently. My ex girlfriend worked at the AMC Marple 10 movie theater. She once told me that Laury banged on the ticket booth and shouted profanity at the clerk on the other side of the glass because the clerk had the nerve to charge her for a movie ticket. She apparently was screaming, "Don't you know who I am? I'm Lisa Thomas-Laury!!" My ex said that they had to tell her that the police would be called if she didn't stop. I'm so sorry that she's been sick and I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. I just hope that over the years she softened and learned to be a bit nicer to others. Like I said, I wasn't there and didn't witness these events for myself.
