Megan Marshack, a former aide to late Vice President and New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, passed away on October 2nd in Sacramento at the age of 70. Ms. Marshack, who was widely rumored to have been romantically involved with Mr. Rockefeller, remained silent about their relationship for decades until her death.
In her self-written obituary, Ms. Marshack disclosed some previously unreported details about her association with Mr. Rockefeller but did not confirm a romance. The obituary ended with a suggestive quote from the 1975 musical “A Chorus Line”: “I won’t forget, can’t regret what I did for love.”
The circumstances surrounding Mr. Rockefeller’s sudden death in 1979 have been shrouded in mystery, and Ms. Marshack’s silence only fueled the speculation. She was followed by reporters hoping for a glimpse into Mr. Rockefeller’s last moments, but she remained elusive, preferring to avoid the spotlight.
The initial account of Mr. Rockefeller’s death, provided by his longtime spokesman, Hugh Morrow, stated that the former Vice President died instantly at 10:15 pm while working on an art book in his office. However, the lack of details and the whispers of Ms. Marshack’s presence in his life left many questions unanswered.
Ms. Marshack’s death leaves a void in the history of the Rockefeller era, and her self-written obituary, though brief, offers a tantalizing glimpse into a relationship shrouded in secrecy.
