Ayesha was only 42-year when cancer was diagnosed to her. She got her initial treatment at Shaukat Khanum Hospital Lahore but was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York where she went through a long process of treatment and was on her way to recovery when the disease recurred in June last year. For the last few moths her health kept deteriorating and on Saturday she died peacefully.

Ayesha has left behind grieving family members, friends and a large number of journalists she professionally and ethically trained during her long and illustrious career. Among the grieved family members are her husband Dr. Faisal Bari, Professor of Economics at LUMS and Senior Advisor to Open Society Institute, Pakistan, two brothers--Hassan Mustafa Haroon and Syed Usman Haroon and Ayesha's mother.

She was a great person. I and number of other journalists in Islamabad learned from her and our another mentor, Absar Alam how to work as professional journalists.  She  will always remain in our hearts. May her soul rest in peace and God grant courage to the bereaved family to bear this huge loss.
