Anchor returned to work six days after announcing news of her mother’s death on social media

Good Day New York anchor Rosanna Scotto was moved to tears on a live broadcast while remembering her late mother on her first day back at work. Scotto grew emotional during Tuesday’s broadcast when B.J. Thomas’ 1969 song “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” was played during the weather report.

This song reminds me of my parents,” the Fox 5 presenter, 68, said, according to People. Scotto thanked those who offered their condolences following the August 26 announcement that her mother, the restaurateur Marion Scotto, had died. And we get it, we got you.” After the broadcast, Scotto shared a video on Instagram telling her fans it was “time to get back to work….

Mom would have wanted that.” “Thank you for the text messages, the comments, the Instagram messages; I appreciate it so much. I’m still going through everything, relishing every text message.” New subscribers only. £9.99/mo. after free trial. Plan auto-renews until cancelled.

Scotto added that when her dad had died, her mom had them working at their family-owned New York restaurant, Fresco by Scotto, that same night. She remembered her mother as “the woman who taught us that family comes first, that hard work is a privilege, and that faith, love and determination can carry you through almost anything.” “Most people would’ve walked away.

She believed in her family. She believed in hard work. And she believed that if you welcomed every guest as though they were entering your home, success would follow.

She was right,” Scotto wrote. She added that others had discouraged her mother from opening the New York restaurant three decades prior, but she hadn’t listened to them.
