Marion Elizabeth King, 97 of Green Cove Springs, FL passed away Saturday, July 20, 2024 just a month before her 98th birthday.

Pinching a penny was a trait that Mrs. King mastered well. She enjoyed a good garage sale and shopping for a deal at Walmart, but was even happy just walking in a store and not buying a thing.

Mrs. King is survived by her daughters, Earline (Wayne) Morris, Joyce (Gene) Duncan and Peggie (Ted) Wattron, 7 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren, 18 great great grandchildren and 3 expected great great grandchildren.
