Beverly J. King

Beverly J. "Bev" King, age 79, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away on Wednesday, September 14, 2016 at the Goerlich Center in Sylvania. Bev was born in Sandusky on December 17, 1936 to Charles and Lois (Threewits) Quick. She graduated from Whitmer High School and went on to attend the University of Toledo. She later taught in Washington Local Schools and was an information desk receptionist at the Toledo Hospital.

It was at UT that Bev met the love of her life, Fred King, who announced to anyone he met that she was, "the most beautiful girl in the world." They were married in 1961 and have three children and seven grandchildren.

Bev was most active at Fairgreen Presbyterian Church, serving as a deacon and singing in the choir. She swam regularly at the West YMCA, attended the Toledo Symphony, held season tickets to the UT basketball games, and for many years Bev and Fred met with a great group of friends annually to attend an away UT football game. Most precious to Bev was her husband, children, and grandchildren. She looked forward to creating memories during the holidays, family birthdays and vacationing with them in the Upper Peninsula and Topsail Island, NC.

Beverly was preceded in death by her parents. Left to cherish her memory is her loving husband of 55 years, Fred; children, Diane (Tod) Pickering, Tim (Holly) King, and Dave (Victoria) King; grandchildren, Mackenzie, Andrew, Reagan, Chase, Alex, Nathan, and Daniel; sister, Carol Peoples; many nieces, nephews, church family, and dear friends.
