Radio veteran Tammi McCauley died Saturday in a kayaking accident.
McCauley, who listeners of “The Bug” (WISS-AM/WAUH-FM) knew as Lexi Young, drowned on the Mecan River in Marquette County. She lived in Ripon. During her career she worked in Berlin, Ripon, Appleton, Fond du Lac and other places.
“She enjoyed working with her on-air partner Wayne Mausser and the time she spent with her family,” according to an article on the station’s website. “She was looking forward to the arrival of a new grandchild. She was a compassionate and caring person and will be terribly missed by those who knew her and her Hometown Broadcasting Family.”
