Albina A. King

Her parents, John and Annina (Dintino) DiGiulio, welcomed their daughter into the world on September 19, 1923 in Keene, NH. She was a 1941 graduate of Keene High School.

Albina worked in retail sales with the former Simons Jewelry Store, the Bell Shoppe and Goodnow Department Store.

A woman of deep faith, Albina was a lifelong parishioner of St. Bernard Church in Keene, and a member of the St. Francis of Rome, the Catholic Daughters of America Court Josephine No. 319, and St. Anne Sodality. She was also a member of the Knights of Columbus Council #819 Ladies Auxiliary and the Gordon Bissell American Legion Keene Post #4 Auxiliary.

Albina loved to cook, especially when it meant being able to open her home to offer food and conversation to her family and many friends. She also enjoyed playing bingo. She was a "people person" and one whose family meant the world to her.

She is survived by a son, Gary R. King and his wife, Annette, of Springfield, MA; a daughter, Sue Levy and her husband, Steven, of Keene; her grandchildren, Jennifer Hayes and her husband, Kenneth, Todd Bauer and his partner, Jessica Bischoff, Benjamin Bauer, Heather Maggi, Lindsay King; her great-grandchildren, Hannah, Connor, Brady, Samuel, Kathryn, Giana, Vincent, Adrianna, Nico, Olivia; her sister, Anne Eastman and her husband, Francis of Keene; her sister-in-law, Elizabeth DiGiulio of Keene; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members. Albina was predeceased by her husband of 52 years, Warren R. King in 2001; a son, John Francis King who died at one day old; and three brothers, Francis DiGiulio, Rev. Anthony DiGiulio, and William DiGiulio.
