Marjorie Fay Palm, 95, of Haddam, Conn., and formerly of West Hartford, Conn., died Nov. 3 in Middlesex Hospital in Middletown, Conn.
Palm was a reporter for the former Hartford (Conn.) Times. She also had been women’s page editor of the now-defunct Sunday Herald of Bridgeport, Conn., and a correspondent for Mademoiselle Magazine.
She interviewed several distinguished figures throughout her career, including Robert Frost and Eleanor Roosevelt. Palm was 23 when she covered the 1944 Hartford Circus Fire. She was one of the first reporters on the scene, and helped lost children find their parents as she was interviewing rescue workers.
Later in life, she edited newsletters for the Connecticut Opera Association, the American Cancer Society, and the Mark Twain House.
She leaves three children, Robert, Christine and Brian; 11 grandchildren; five nieces and nephews.
