Virginia Mae King

Virginia Mae Peoples King passed away on June 6, 2017 in Fort Worth, Texas at the age of 81. Virginia was born to Lanham and Lillian Peoples on March 15, 1936 in Weatherford, Texas. Virginia lived the majority of her life in Weatherford and was a longtime member of Victory Baptist Church. She was a fighter who had been struggling with chronic pain -- and later other severe health issues – for the last 32 years. Her battle is over, and she is no longer in pain. Even with all her struggles, Virginia greatly loved her children and grandchildren and prayed for them all daily. Educated in Weatherford schools, Virginia married the love of her life, Bob King, on October 19, 1952 – they would have celebrated 65 years of marriage this fall.

Virginia is survived by her husband Bobby King of Weatherford and their 3 children Pam King and her husband Ralph of Keller, Tom King and his wife Shelly of Midland, Kim Barrett and her husband Richard of Kennedale; 4 grandchildren Bryan Barrett and his wife Charla, Logan Barrett and his wife Elise, Kylie King and Kierston King; 2 great-grandchildren Blake and Brax Barrett; brother Jake Peoples of Weatherford; brother-in-law Weldon and sister-in-law and Ann King of Santa Fe; several nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents; infant daughter Vicky King; her mother and father-in-law, Paschal and Inez King; her sister, Margie Nash; her brothers, Charles and Raymond; and sister-in-law, Betty Carter.
