Alberta King, 75, of Gillette died at her home Saturday, Sept. 29, 2012, of heart complications.
She was born Jan. 25, 1937, in Orchard, Neb., the daughter of Albert and Edith (Hille) Holbrook. She was raised and educated in Orchard.
She married Keith Norman King Sr. on July 9, 1956. The couple lived in Stuart, Neb., until 1978, when they moved to Gillette.
She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Her hobbies included watching baseball, gardening, crocheting, camping and attending the numerous activities of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She was a member of Prince Of Peace Lutheran Church and her faith got her through the rough times. She was very generous, willing to help out if any one needed. She loved life and each adventure it held. Although she will be greatly missed, she has a new adventure now with God and her family in heaven.
