Mrs. King was born January 24, 1939 in Lufkin, Texas to the late Ervelia (Holcomb) and Willis Jordan.

Mrs. King was raised in Diboll. In high school she won awards for being a beauty queen and was a former Miss Diboll Day Queen Candidate, as well as DHS Class of ’57 Miss Beautiful. She was a Diboll girl at heart and much of her love remained there.

She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother and dearly loved her grandchildren. She was an amazing cook who could cook anything. Her family’s favorites were her biscuits, 7-layer German chocolate cake. Mrs. King loved and looked after her family, providing for their wants and needs with unconditional love. She never met a stranger and anyone who met her would love her. She was known to speak to a total stranger on the phone for two hours after they had dialed the wrong number! Mrs. King was a Christian and loved the Lord.
