Del Foreman King, also fondly known as Miss Del, left us on Monday, November 13th, 2023, to walk with Jesus.

She was born on January 11, 1938, in Lafayette, Louisiana to parents Walter and Melba Foreman. Del was the middle child of four, little sister to Pansy Joy and older sister to Mary Carolyn and brother Walter Scott.

Del attended Mt. Carmel High School in Lafayette where she was an accomplished pianist, made lifelong friends and received high marks in every subject and awards in debate. A graduate of the University of Southwestern Louisiana 1959, she achieved her Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and was an outstanding student and leader.

In 1961 at The Episcopal Church of the Ascension in Lafayette, Del married John King. He met all of the "requirements": had a degree and a job and was handsome, smart, and tall. They shared 62 years together bowling, square dancing, traveling and most of all building a beautiful family. Her daughter Karen King was born in 1962 and her son Robert King in 1965. The family moved to New Orleans in 1965 where they stayed for 9 years. They then moved to Milwaukee, WI for 3 years but the south was always calling her back.

The Kings moved to Kings Creek, Kingwood, TX in 1976. Del walked the greenbelt along peaceful Lake Kingwood daily and serenaded friends and family on her grand piano in the evenings. She cherished her neighbors and home of 40 plus years until her last day. Family meant the world to Del, and she shared her "joie de vivre" especially with her granddaughters, Madeline and India.

Del's faith guided her through her whole life. She began to seriously study the Bible in 1988 when she joined Bible Study Fellowship at Kingwood Second Baptist Church. There she found her first faith home and spent the next 10 years sharing, teaching and leading in her faith.

Del and John joined the Kingwood Presbyterian Church in 1992. Her heart was always with her church home and family. Del especially enjoyed serving on the board of deacons, attending and leading bible study and being in Marytha and Dorcas Circles. She truly loved offering her service to the church, meeting wonderful friends and pastors, and being involved in the community.

Loved ones that will miss Del until they meet again are her husband John King; her children Karen King West and Robert King; her younger sister Mary Carolyn; and her granddaughters Madeline and India.

And to all of us she says "I passed a good time," and I thank you, Lord.
