Corrigan, 56, of Hawai'i Kai, died aboard United Airlines Flight 93 when the hijacked plane crashed in a Pennsylvania field.
Georgine Corrigan was aboard United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania Sept. 11.
The memorial service will be conducted from noon to 2 p.m. aboard the Star of Honolulu, moored on the east side of the Aloha Tower.
The ship will sail for Diamond Head for the service, in which a helicopter will release rose petals and soil from the Pennsylvania crash site.
Corrigan's daughter, Laura Brough, and her family were invited to the White House last week by President George Bush.
"The president basically said thank you for our loved ones' actions in probably saving the White House and the Capitol," Brough said about the passengers' apparent struggle with hijackers before it crashed.
The memorial service is open to the public but seating is limited. Family, friends and business associates will be accommodated first. Attendees are asked to call 528-6767 to reserve seating aboard the ship. RSVP by noon Friday.
Correspondence and monetary donations should be sent to Laura Brough, P.O. Box 25643, Honolulu, HI 96825.
