Nelda Sunday King

June 27, 2025

Nelda Sunday King, age 91, was called home to our Lord on June 22, 2025. She was born January 10, 1934, in Pensacola by a midwife. She was married to Gordon Curly King, February 9, 1951, until his death in June of 1990.

Nelda was a homemaker and loved being outside planting and tending her flowers or mowing her lawn. She loved riding the lawn mower and even after back surgery, her first question to the doctor was, “Can I drive my mower?”
We had to hide the keys! She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Nelda was a member of Bellview Church of Christ and served faithfully for as long as she was able to attend.

Nelda is survived by her son, Gordon King (Roberta); daughter, Cyndi King Reed (Jim); daughter, Jody Ritchie (Rex); and son, Willard Butch King; four grandchildren and six great grandchildren.

We extend our deepest appreciation to Vitas Hospice, especially Katy, for the amazing care and love shown to our mom.

Funeral Services will be Saturday, June 28, 2025, at 11:00 AM, at Bellview Church of Christ. Visitation will be one hour prior at 10 a.m.. Interment will be in Beulah Baptist Church Cemetery.
