At an early age, she joined Oak City Missionary Baptist Church and was a faithful member. As a missionary, she was very soft-spoken and dynamic in her influence and in the way she lived and by the examples she set. When her health began to decline in her later years, she did not give up. She fought a good fight, and she kept the faith and stayed here ninety-two years.

She leaves to cherish her precious memories five children: Beulah Weaver of Donalsonville, GA, Samuel L. King Sr. (Alberta), Jerry L. King (Patricia), Ricky L.
