Services for Mae King, 79, of Falconhead, Burneyville, were held at 10 a.m., Monday, January 23, in the Falconhead Christian Fellowship Chapel, Burneyville, with the Rev. Lamoin Champ of Nocona, Texas, retired pastor of First Baptist Church Burkburnett, Texas, officiating.

Interment was in Hillcrest Memorial Park Cemetery, Ardmore. Arrangements were directed by Flanagan-Watts Funeral Home, Marietta.

Born May 22, 1926, in Lawton, the daughter of James Arvil and Dollie C. Brandon Hanks, she died Friday, January 20, 2006, in Mercy Memorial Health Center, Ardmore. A resident of Falconhead since 1987, Mrs. King had previously made her home in Burkburnett for some 30 years. She and Buren Edwin “Mort” King were married November 14, 1942, in Lawton…a marriage of 61 years until his death on August 17, 2003. In addition to being a wife, mother, special granny and sister, Mrs. King was both a homemaker and a businesswoman. In 1968 she was honored as “Woman of the Year” by the Boomtown Chapter of the American Business Women’s Association in Burkburnett. She owned and operated King’s Frame Shoppe in Burkburnett from 1974 to 1986. Mrs. King was also a 50-year member of the Order of Eastern Star Grand Chapter #970 of Wichita Falls, Texas. Throughout the years she served as a Den Mother, Boy Scout Leader and president of the Gray Lady Chapter of the American National Red Cross. Mrs. King was a member of the First Baptist Church in Burkburnett. “God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around you and whispered, ‘Come with me.’ With tearful eyes we watched you slowly fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, your hard-working hands put to rest…God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.”

Survivors include two sons and daughters-in-law, Wayne E. Sr. and Cookie King of Peachtree City, Georgia, and Robert C.  and Ann Kristin King of Seneca, South Carolina; four sisters, Ester Damron, June Husted, Faye Moore and Pat Percle; a brother-in-law, Creed H. King Jr.; three grandchildren, Wayne King Jr. and Scott King of Peachtree City, and Kori Chisham of Alexandria, Virginia; and four great-grandchildren, Brody King, Kasey King, Lauren King and Wayne King III (Trey), all of Peachtree City; and a faithful dog, Chipper.

She was also preceded in death by her parents.

Pallbearers were grandsons, Wayne King Jr. and Scott King; granddaughter, Kori Chisham; and nephews, Neale Mathis, Terry Moore, Gary Tubbs and Melvin Tubbs. Honorary pallbearers were Barbara Moore, Mary Favreau and Mary Alice Sanders.
