Nancy King

Nancy Joyce King passed away Wednesday morning, March 27, 2019, at age 79. Nancy is remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

She moved to Orlando, Florida with her family during the 50s, where she met and later married her husband of 60 years, Charles "Charley" Perry King, Jr of Chiefland, FL. While Charles served in the U.S. Air Force, they traveled with their two sons to Norway and Germany before settling in Chiefland, Florida.
