1931-2005  (July 2005)

Nettie Sue Spears King was born July 26, 1931, on a Sunday 
in Pikeville, Ky.


She and her four brothers, William "Buster" Spears, Raymond 
Spears, Broadus Spears and Tommy Spears, and three sisters, 
Betty Salisbury, Helen Gillium and Evalena Bingham, were raised 
by their parents, Rell and Ada Belle Layne Spears.


After a very happy childhood, she met and married her husband, 
Willie King, at the age of 15. Together they had five children: two 
sons, David Lee King and Carl Gene King and three daughters, 
Billie Sue Bradley, Nina Jo Stevens and Nettie Jo Damron. Willie and 
Nettie King were also blessed with 10 grandchildren and 14 
great-grandchildren.


Willie and Nettie King enjoyed 581/2 years of marriage but "no 
matter how many years have passed, the time is still short." Their 
59th wedding anniversary would have been on Oct. 26 of this year.


She was baptized on May 2, 1976, in The Falls at Westwood United 
Baptist Church and went home to be with Jesus and the angels on 
July 11, 2005. After an exhausting battle with cancer, she passed 
away peacefully with her husband and family by her side only weeks
 before her 74th birthday at her home in Catlettsburg. 



Nettie King leaves behind a legacy of joy, laughter, memories 
and more love than any family could ever experience. A true 
lady, she was beautiful, kind and caring. She will be greatly 
missed by all who had the privilege of being a part of her life.


Mrs. King was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, 
Broadus and Buster Spears; her sister, Betty Salisbury; and an 
infant grandchild, Kellie Ann Stevens.


Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Friday at Westwood United 
Baptist Church. She will lie in state from 9 a.m. until service time. 
Burial will be in Golden Oaks Memorial Gardens.


Visitation will be at Steen Funeral Home-Marshall Steen Chapel 
in Ashland from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday.


In lieu of flowers, friends may make contributions to Westwood 
United Baptist Church Building Fund, c/o Malcolm Conley, 
315 Lee St., Ashland, KY 41102. Services will be officiated 
by Elder Clarence Thompson Jr.
