Evelyn King Life Reflections

On January 3, 2025, God, in His infinite power and wisdom, called home to Glory one of His most devoted servants. Mrs. Evelyn King. She was 85 years old and is now resting in the eternal peace of the Lord, surrounded by the love and grace that she gave so freely during her life.
