For Marsha K. King

A memorial service for Marsha K. King, who had lived in Hampstead, N.C., with her husband, Capt. Daniel King, since 2004, will be held on June 2 at 10:30 a.m. at Grace Presbyterian Church in Water Mill with the Rev. Steve Liversedge presiding. Mrs. King, who was 68, died in October 2017 of a stroke following heart surgery. Her husband survives.

The service will be followed by a private burial of Mrs. King’s ashes at Green River Cemetery in Springs.

Mrs. King grew up in Amagansett and lived in Springs until moving to North Carolina. She memorialized her husband’s family’s way of life in “A Fine Day for Fishing,” a fictionalized history of the end of  haulseining in East Hampton, published in 2013. Before they moved south, Dan King donated his flag dory to the East Hampton Town Marine Museum in Amagansett, where it remains on display.

Mrs. King’s interests included ministry and music, as well as writing. Two sons, Eric W. King of East Hampton and Anthony H. King of Wilmington, N.C.; two grandchildren, two sisters, Karen Haviland of Wilmington and Jacqueline Whitehead of Middletown, Conn., and a brother, Roy Wethy of Hampstead, survive. A son, Daniel V. King, died before her.
