Emma King

Emma King died at her home in Silver Spring, Maryland. She was the wife of the late Lester King, who predeceased her in 1996. She began this life on November 16, 1922, in East Pittsburg, PA. She grew up and had a lengthy career of 42 years with the National Labor Relations Board until her retirement at the age of 62. Mrs. King was very sociable, joining the Red Hat Ladies and volunteering at the Senior Center in Silver Spring. When she was not travelling with friends, she cared for the many rescue dogs she encountered and even adopted a few over her lifetime. In her times of relaxation, she enjoyed exercise and spending time with her family. She was the mother of Charlotte, Danny, the late Lester, Donna, and Pam. She was also blessed with six grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. She was their rock, role model, and source of love. Mrs. King was buried next to her beloved husband in a private ceremony at Norbeck Memorial Park.
