LUCILLE HOWELL KING

Mrs. Lucille Howell King, 103, passed away on Sat., July 4, 2015. She was a native of Opp and daughter of the late Morgan and Laura Howell.

She graduated from Huntingdon College in Montgomery and taught English in Cullman before moving to Andalusia in 1935. A member of the First United Methodist Church, she became active in her church and the civic and social life of Andalusia.

She taught private speech lessons in the city schools and was drama director for school plays for several years. She also assisted in the production of annual Christmas plays at her church. For many years, she was in demand as a speaker at literary and social clubs in Andalusia and surrounding towns. Her great love was poetry and many of her club programs covered the great poets and their works.

For 18 years she was society editor of the Andalusia Star-News and wrote a weekly column called “Strictly Personal.” Many of her philosophies live on in her columns, such as “something to do, something to love and something to hope for.”

Her greatest love and interest was her family.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Edgar Earl King, to whom she was married for 61 years; her brother, H.W. “Bill” Howell; and her sister, Eva Howell Hamilton.

Survivors include her son, Edgar Earl King, Jr. (Lynda) of Brewton; grandsons, Brian K. King of Atlanta and Russell A. (Vanessa) King of Huntsville; and great-grandchildren, Stella, Wyatt and Jude.
