MARLENE KING

Marlene King died on September 4, 2014 at her daughter's home at Lake Rosemound 
in St. Francisville, Louisiana from cancer. A courageous fighter to the very 
end, she now rests with the Lord.

Marlene was born in Monroe, Louisiana on August 9, 1935. Child of Edward and 
Evelyn Ferris, she was raised on the family farm in Winnsboro Louisiana 
surrounded by extended family in the Wayside community. Marlene graduated from 
Winnsboro High School in 1953.

Marlene married Charles Godfrey King also of Winnsboro in 1955. Soon after their 
union, they began a life together in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Charles began his 
career as a geologist for the Louisiana Geological Survey and Marlene took 
employment as financial secretary of the University Methodist Church. Charles 
and Marlene raised three children together. Their first child, Charles Godfrey 
King, Jr. (Chuck) was born on November 14, 1957 in Winnsboro, Louisiana. He and 
his wife, Carrie Thomas of Spearfish South Dakota, currently reside in Lead, 
South Dakota. Charles and Marlene's daughter, Stacey Marlene King, was born on 
December 11, 1959. She resides in the Lake Rosemound community of St. 
Francisville, Louisiana. Their youngest child, Carey Edward King was born August 
31, 1966. He lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with his wife, Amber Marie Johnson 
of Hillsboro, Oregon and ten year old daughter Ella Carice King. Carey's eldest 
child, Dustin Edward King, lives in Pearland, Texas with his mother Jamie King 
Belinne.

Marlene is preceded in death by her mother and father, husband, and brother 
Edward Lavone Ferris. She is survived by her children Chuck, Stacey and Carey, 
her grandchildren Ella and Dustin, daughter-in-laws Amber King and Carrie King, 
brother-in-law Clifford King of Lake St. John, Louisiana sisters-in-law Wanda 
Ferris of Winnsboro, Louisiana and Betty King of Lake St. John, Louisiana. 
Surviving nieces and nephews include Cheryl Henderson of Winnsboro, Connie Moore 
of Spark, Louisiana and Chris King of Sicily Island, Louisiana.

Marlene spent most of her time with friends and family in the Lake Rosemound 
community with a close group of friends. Her greatest joy was tending her 
gardens and helping her daughter manage their acreage in the rolling Feliciana 
hills. Throughout Marlene's life, she was a constant source of light and love to 
all those around her. Even in the discomfort of her illness, her eyes were 
bright and a source of hope and inspiration.

A memorial service will be held at St. Francisville United Methodist church on 
Saturday, September 6th at 5:00pm. Visitation will be at Gill's Funeral home in 
Winnsboro, Louisiana on Sunday, September 7th 5:30-7:30pm. Funeral will follow 
Monday, September 8th at 11:00am.

An alternative to flowers is a gift in her memory to St. Francisville United 
Methodist Church.
