A beloved Pennsylvania newscaster who was killed by a train earlier this week was “happy and proud” as she cooked lasagna and talked about Christmas gift ideas with her mother just three days before her death.
Emily Matson, 42, smiles from ear to ear as she holds a glass of wine and helps her mother, Patricia, cook on Dec. 8.
“Taught Emily how to make sauce and lasagna last Friday,” Patricia Matson said of her daughter in a Facebook post on Tuesday. “He was so happy and proud … he wanted his picture taken to show his brother Travis that he made lasagna just for him!”
The mother-daughter duo also discussed Christmas presents, which the anchor seemed eager to celebrate.
“I mentioned getting her a lasagna pan for Christmas and she said she would love a lasagna pan for Christmas!,” Patricia Matson concluded.
The newly revealed photos were released hours before the Erie County Coroner’s Office ruled Matson’s death a suicide.
Erie County officials received a call on Dec. 11 around 12:45 a.m. that an individual had been struck by a train in Fairview Township, where Matson lives, according to the Erie Times-News.
In a separate post, Matson’s mother shared another photo of her daughter smiling next to her husband, Ryan, as they sat at a table in Cabo San Lucas.
Meanwhile, Matson’s brother, Travis, has revealed that he bought her a “Secret Santa” present.

“He’s a very loyal friend, and if you’re lucky enough to be one of them, you hit the jackpot. He always makes sure his people are taken care of. I am so grateful that our paths crossed, and we never lost touch.”
