Irene Ann King, 78, of Fairlawn Haven Assisted Living in Archbold, passed away Thursday afternoon, June 25. She was born on April 3, 1937, near Wauseon, Ohio, the youngest daughter of William Henry King and Lydia (Short) King. Irene attended Central Mennonite Church her whole life. She was dedicated to her family, taking care of her own parents in their later years, keeping records of the family genealogy, and sending birthday and holiday cards to her numerous nieces and nephews. She loved to make crafts, which she gave as gifts and used to decorate her home. Her scrapbooks detail her many travels around America and overseas. A 1955 Pettisville High School graduate, Irene held many jobs, including at Sheridan's in the early 1960s, at Style-Mark from 1978 to 1999, and then for Wauseon Woodworking. Most recently she worked at Central Mennonite Church from 2000 until 2014. She also volunteered at Care & Share. Survivors include her brother and sister-in-law, Marvin and Pauline King of Pettisville, sister, Erma (King) Kauffman of Gillette, Wyoming, sister-in-law Ilva (Nafziger) King of Archbold, and many nephews and nieces plus their children and grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and her siblings Harold King, Emerson King, Mabel (King) Courtney, and Maurice King. A memorial service will be conducted at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, June 29 at Central Mennonite Church, 21703 OH-2 in Archbold, with a lunch following.
