Marilyn Happ King

Roy King, her loving husband of 65 years, died in 2011. Marilyn is survived by her son Brian King and his wife Micki; and her grandson, Parker Miller King. Predeceased by Sisters Virginia and Patsy, Marilyn shared long talks and longer laughs with them. She was adored by her nieces: Ginny Yuen; Marilyn DeJulio, Claudia Payette, Anna Bettencourt, Nancy Voll, and their families. Marilyn had many great friends including Connie Spradley, Anna and Doug Skewes, Diana and Curt Kramer and Anita Viani. They miss her tremendously.

For the last three years Marilyn lived at Cyprus Home Care, where she was given heartfelt attention by owner Dina Biscos, and her loving caregivers, Olga Gudumac and Tatiana Cerlat.

Marilyn was expressive about politics, loyal to the Sacramento Kings and San Francisco Giants, and enjoyed volunteering. She helped out at the Discovery Shop; and she and Roy always found time to feed the hungry at the Sacramento Food Bank. Having lived through the Great Depression, Marilyn developed a tremendous work ethic early in life, and helped support her family by working after school. In the late 60’s she and Roy moved from Oakland to Sacramento, where she worked as a professional assistant for the Elk Grove Unified School District, until she retired in the late 80’s.
