Koral McMahon Gregor of Sagaponack died peacefully on November 4. She was diagnosed with cancer in January 2020 and lived life to her fullest every day since. She was 68.

Born on December 10, 1955, she was the daughter of Catherine and Frank McMahon of Bridgehampton and sister to Kyle Lach (Joey) of Hampton Bays and Dan McMahon (Kelly) of Connecticut. She attended elementary school at The Academy of the Sacred Heart and was a graduate of Bridgehampton School.

A blind date to the Hampton Bays carnival on August 4, 1973, would lead to an October wedding in 1976 for Koral and Jeffrey Gregor. Together, they raised their four children, Benjamin Gregor (Beth), Brooke English (Kevin), Courtney Gregor, and Bryan Gregor (Hayley), with unwavering love, support and dedication.

She became a grandmother for the first time in 2008, and leaves behind a total of 10 grandchildren, Jeffery, Caroline, and Henry Gregor, Emma, William, and Brynn English, Mackenzie, Lucy, James, and Tommy Gregor, who adored her. Being a grandmother was her greatest joy, her family said, and she could often be found in the stands of a sporting event, in the audience of a school recital, or waiting in a long line at a Disney World attraction. She will be deeply missed by all.

She reveled in the company of close confidants, especially her lifelong friend Joy Sieger, and the “lunch girls.”

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations in her name to the LUNGevity Foundation and Memorial Sloan Kettering.

The family would like to thank the entire staff of Memorial Sloan Kettering, specifically Dr. Paik and Sarah Permutt (RN-BC), for the wonderful care shown to her during her illness and final days.

An Opportunity

The advertising sign at Division and Marsden streets indicates that all four lots are still for sale. The fact that the whole site remains intact seems a great opportunity for both the village and the school. Can we at last find a way to all work together, with financial help from the Southampton Town Community Preservation Fund, on a plan that would benefit both village and school? Maybe a purchase wouldn’t be just a nature preserve, with no specific use for the neighboring school? Perhaps it wouldn’t be just a full-size athletic field, a big expense to construct and maintain, ... by Staff Writer

Houses, Not Farms

Anytime the headwinds got too fierce, my father would talk about selling what he owned and moving the farm elsewhere. At a family meeting, his cousins unfurled a subdivision map of the farmland behind our house. A family is no way to own a farm: It makes the land vulnerable to all the things families are vulnerable to. Mainly, time — it wears away at relationships; a hundred years on, brothers are now very distant cousins. Corporations have proven themselves better suited for the business growing food than farmers. As they say, money rules. Down in Delaware, or out in ... by Marilee Foster
