Lillian Margaret King, 96, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Wednesday, July 12, 2017, in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She was preceded in death by her husband of over 50 years, Wilfred “Jim” King, and beautiful daughter, Lynda M. King-Donaldson in December 2015. Lillian was born August 24,1920 in Detroit, Michigan to her parents Ed and Frances (Laskowski) Thomas.
