"My heart is heavy following the loss of 'Raven's Home' executive producer Eunetta Boone,"show star Raven-Symoné said in a statement. "Eunetta was a pioneer and an inspiration to everyone she met. She was a masterful storyteller, an empathetic leader and a beacon of light to so many. I'm sending love and my deepest sympathies to Eunetta's family and friends and all who knew and loved her. She will be missed. Thank you for everything Eunetta."

According to a press release obtained by EBONY, she started her career at the Baltimore Sun as a sports reporter. She was the first African-American woman to cover sports in the Maryland city.
