Ann and Louie were wonderful neighbors to us in Vaughn. They loved to dance and tell stories of their travels. Ann gave me my first artichoke and fennel plants from her garden and I think of her every time I see them. Our condolences to her family.

I will always remember summer afternoons at Grandma King's house. Anna, Matt, John and I would play for hours on the beach and then track who knows what into her house to inspect the mystery of the biday...which we had never seen before! She always greeted us with warmth and kindness, fed us like kings and reminded us to wear our sunscreen. My brother and I loved her like our own grandmother. I always loved it when she made the trip to WSU to visit Anna, because I would get to share in the grandma love. She even came to my wedding bearing a gift of a pasta strainer. She was a wonderful lady and will be terribly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.##imported-begin##Nikki Winfree##imported-end##
What a special lady Mrs. King was. My memories go back to the early sixties and I fondly remember her delicious dinners, especially pizza in a baking dish! Her kindness was genuine, her smile was contagious and I consider it a privilege to have known her. In the seventies and eighties I would occasionally run into her and Mr. King since I also moved to the Vaughn area. She was so proud of her sons and their families and she always had a picture and a story to share. I know she will be greatly missed but how fortunate her family is to have had her in their lives for so many years. Heartfelt sympathy to all of you.##imported-begin##Lynn McCormick Radcliffe##imported-end##
