To George King,

I was so sad to learn of Anna's death. I first knew her when she was the librarian at A.C. Moore Elementary, where she read to each class when we visited the library. She was so animated and instilled in me a life-long love of reading. I can still hear her reading "How  the Elephant got his Trunk." I last saw her a few years ago, when I was visiting Columbia, and she was as cute, sharp, and delightful as ever. She was also my Aunt Nilla's good friend and they "dug in the dirt" together many times. I adored her and she was the only person I allowed to call me "Maggie." God bless you, all you her relatives, but I am sure a spunky new angel is now shaking things up in Heaven!
Love, Margaret Gunter Riddle

98 years - WOW!! - I always knew Mrs. King would be around for a long time.  She always had such "Fight" in her.  I worked as her Secretary at the Richland County Public Libray for many years up to her retirement.  I was young but she helped to "raise" me to be the person I am today.  Over my life I have had to use some of her "toughness" that she taught me.  I am grateful for the opportunity she gave me to work for her.  I always loved it when she brought me flowers for my desk.  I know her family and friends will miss her very much.

George and Family, Columbia was blessed to have this gracious, Southern Flower with us for 98 amazing years.  Your mother not only loved, planted and nurtured flowering seeds in her garden, she also loved, planted and nurtured the seeds of knowledge and life through reading and example for many Columbia children and young adults.  We all have special Anna King memories in our hearts.  She will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her.  Evelyn Branham.

Dear George and family,
Mrs. King was truely a remarkable lady and will be greatly missed.  We hold such fond memories of her over the years and will always remember our girls' facination visiting her "secret garden" and feeling the love!
Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.
Beth and Bobby

George, I'm so sorry to learn about your mother.  She was quite a lady; and I remember her happy outlook on life and all the times I spent with her.  My thoughts & prayers are with you and all in your family at this time.

Anna Laconte and Crawford: One of the grand memories of your grandmother is when she and your mother Shields stopped by my mountain house on the way to get their plants. She ID'd all kinds of things in my garden I didn't know I had. Your mother's garden is blooming away and one of the plants Anna liked is in there too. Dottie Schipper

I remember Mrs. King from when I was a young girl at Crayton.  She had such a warm and loving way about her.  I have thought of her many times over the years.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

GEORGE, YOUR MOTHER WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON WHO WILL BE MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW HER. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

George, not counting my sainted mother, no one mothered our Columbia boys and girls better than your mother, a gracious and always smiling face on Sheffield Road and at the Library.  God
blessed you and us with her life.
Brantly Cox, Mt. Pleasant
