Margaret Zack, a longtime Star Tribune courts reporter known for her legal expertise and as a leader in the women's pay-equity movement, died from complications of Alzheimer's disease on Oct. 21. She first joined the Star Tribune in 1966 after graduating from the University of Minnesota. Zack wrote articles for the "women's pages," including wedding announcements, food stories and features, recalled her longtime colleague Marilyn Hoegemeyer, a retired Star Tribune editor. She returned to the Star Tribune in 1969 and started covering Hennepin County courts in the 1970s. Retired Star Tribune reporter Peg Meier recalled Zack as a kind colleague who always "went the extra mile" on the job.
