Marilyn B. King

Marilyn B King, of Stamford, CT, beloved mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully at the age of 86 on the morning of Tuesday, March 7, 2023, following a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s. Marilyn was born on May 14, 1936, in the Bronx, NY. In her early years, she resided in Mount Vernon, NY where she enjoyed dancing, modeling, and in 1954 she graduated from Evander Childs High School. Marilyn began her working life as a key punch operator, before kicking off her retail sales career at Gimbels followed by Sage Allen, JC Penney, Filene’s, and lastly, Ann Taylor LOFT. In the 1960’s Marilyn and her family moved to Stamford, CT where she realized there was a need for Ambulance coverage in North Stamford. She organized and became one of the founding members of the Stamford Ambulance Corps (currently Stamford EMS). Throughout her tenure, she was the recipient of many awards. She held many positions in the organization, including but not limited to, the position of President for many years. Through her efforts on these committees, the Stamford Ambulance Corps was able to hire their first paid drivers thus improving the reliability of emergency medical services to the citizens of Stamford. Marilyn spent her later years enjoying the company of friends and family and creating new memories. Her final years were spent at Cassena Care of Stamford where she was surrounded by loving staff and residents and where she also gained another new nickname, “Cha Cha Cha”. Marilyn was predeceased by her partner Al Stamatis, her father Edwin W Randall, her mother Mae Ann Barrett Randall, and brother Eddie Randall. She is survived by her daughter Donna Docimo of Stamford, CT and two grandsons, Frank (Danielle) Docimo of Stamford, CT, and Brian (Melissa) Docimo of Naples, FL, as well as her daughter Debbie Daniels (George) of Newtown, CT, and two granddaughters, Kelsey & Taylor. In lieu of flowers we ask that you make donations to the “Jewish Community Center” Jumpstart Program, “Stamford Firefighters Burn Foundation”, or “Stamford EMS”. Family invites relatives and friends to celebrate her life on Tuesday, March 14, 2023 from 9am to 12pm with a prayer service at 12pm at Bosak Funeral Home in Stamford, CT. Her burial will immediately follow to St. John Cemetery, in Norwalk, CT.
