Marian King

Fran King, 83, went home to be with the Lord on August 29, 2026. Humanity was enormously enriched because God sent Fran into this crazy world. She was born in El Segundo, California, on September 29, 1942.

She graduated from El Segundo High School, where she was Valedictorian in 1960. In 1968, she moved with her three children to Crowley, Texas. She graduated from Tarrant County College in 1975 with an Associate of Arts in English and attended Texas Christian University (1976-1979) graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.

She worked at TCU’s Bright Divinity School (1978-1979) and then started in the Suggestion Department (1980) at Lockheed Martin until she retired in 2005.

Fran was a member of Capstone Church, and her life was defined by her faith, her commitment to her family and, most importantly, her relationship with God. She taught Bible Study on certain Saturdays in a month and was a member of a Prayer Group on Mondays. She will be fondly remembered by her family and friends as a Proverbs 31 Woman with great character, gentle humbleness, and kind integrity.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Laurence King, her parents: Frank E. Haught, Jr (Vernice Wright), her Grandparents, Herbert Wright (Roberta Cauldwell), Frank E. Haught, Sr. (Dena Phillips), and one son, Donald Frank Allen, I.

Williams, Jr.); Grandsons: Donald Frank Allen, II, Daniel Allen, Kevin Hinkle, Patrick Allen, Andrew Allen, Brandon LeVasseur, Payton Allen; Granddaughters: Stephanie Hinkle, Jessica Filmore, Kaitlyn Martinez, Trinity Allen, Helenáh Kim, Kristi Allen; Great-Grandsons: Wyatt Lee, Warren Lee, Luca Martinez, Hayden Allen, Hunter Allen, Theadore Allen; Great-Granddaughters: Rowan Hinkle, Aria Hinkle, Brooklyn Allen, Calli Allen, Clara Filmore, Isabella Allen, Cameron Sieling, Ayva Martinez, Sophia Martinez; Great-Great Grandson: Parker Lee; Great-Great-Granddaughter: Venorah Sieling; and a host of friends who loved her.
