Dead at 63 after battling breast cancer. Most of us grew up watching her deliver the news on Channel 2. She worked there for 17 years before being unceramoniously dumped in 1996. The heyday of NY News with Jim Jensen, Ernie Anastos and Rolland Smith
RIP Michelle Marsh

I live with a survivor whose mom died at 43. Her sister has ovarian cancer now and her daughter has been told to have her kids now in her mid 30's and get everything removed.
All positive for The Braca gene that is rampant in Ashkenazi Jewish women. If your wife is Jewish or not Jewish they should get tested. It takes a brave woman to peek into her future but it can save their lives down the road. We are only here once . Why not?

Remember her well. -She did an excellent job and seemed like a genuinely nice person.
Rest in Peace, Michelle. You were a professional and that clearly showed in every news report you did.

Always enjoyed watching her, so sorry to hear. Condolences to her family
RIP Michelle.
Mostly watch Fox 5 and ABC in the morning. The early Fox 5 news before 7 a.m. is must watch.
RIP. The heyday of NY evening news indeed. We are the generation that watched the NY evening news with their parents.

It was a refreshing break from the old white guys when the likes of Michele Marsh, Carol Martin, Sue Simmons, Pia Lindstrom, Rose Ann Rosananadana and others started to sprinkle the anchor chair.
Agree completely. My favorite was Sara Lee Kessler on WOR/Ch. 9. Liked Michele Marsh alot too. Rest in Peace.
Dana Tyler is the longest holderover. She was there when Marsh was there and has been there for over 25 years. Probably pushing 60 now
Thought Roger Grimsby ( “I’m Roger Grimsby Here now the News”) and Bill Beutel were on WABC Channel 7.... Eyewiteness News
This is very sad. I also enjoyed the news on CBS with Michelle. My brother worked for CBS in NYC for 42 years so I always watch CBS. It is so sad to see so many women die so young. My wife passed from cancer three and a half years ago at 64 and that will haunt me for the rest of my life. She looked like she was about 45. I have been fighting cancer myself now for two and a half years. Neither my wife or I ever smoked. It is just bad luck and it is hitting way too many of us.
Carole Martin...the 'e' on the end of her first name always caught my attention on the TV screen.
RIP. Used to watch her all the time with Ernie Anastos back in the day. Is John Johnson from ABC 7 still around?
I worked at WOR-TV as a production assistant when Sara Lee was there. -She was regarded as being excellent at reading the news, but from what my friends who worked in the news room used to tell me she wasn't exactly the nicest person in the world or the easiest individual to deal with.
I remember thinking back then it was just as well that I only saw her in passing and was glad my duties didn't involve anything to do with the news. ...Still, she was very good at her job, and that, after all, was what she was getting paid for.
they were. I think he's just making the point they are all up in heaven together now...
Totally agree. Especially when you know that you either have a family history of some kind or are in a high percentage group for it. Being frightened of the results may seem bad, but being frightened of the unknown is even worse. Way too many who avoid having something checked when they can still do something about it, like being saved, instead of finding out too late.
So sad. I watched Channel 2 regularly in the early/mid 80s (my high school/college years). Marsh and Warner Wolf were a regular part of my daily TV viewing.
Thank you for the link. So, basically, after 1996, she had a brief stint on WNBC and then was home working on a novel and later battling cancer. Glad she made it long enough to be at her son's wedding
