Lauretta Eileen King, age 90, of Sunbury and formerly of Mount Vernon passed away on February 11, 2025 with her loving family by her side.
She was born on June 25,1934 in Rising Sun, Indiana to the late Charles and Lela Alford (Manser). Lauretta was a graduate of Rising Sun High School and was a devoted pastor’s wife to Richard for 65 years and mother of seven children.
She loved her family deeply. She prayed for her kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids daily. She was known for her kind, gentle spirit and greeted all who knew her with a smile. She enjoyed taking care of her home and cooking meals for her large family. But most important was her relationship with her Lord. Her deepest desire was to honor Him with her life and she desired all who knew her to do the same. We rejoice today knowing she is with her husband, Richard, and her savior Jesus, forever.
She is survived by her daughters Krista Henry, Kathy (Terry) Waller, Cheryl (Greg) Sharpes, Gina (Hadi) Khouri; her sons, Mark (Shelly) King, Mike (Lydia) King, David (Faith) King; 29 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren.
