Jean Ann "Nan" King was born August 8, 1926 in Saginaw, to the late Charles & Maggie (Dice) Millhisler. She passed away suddenly and peacefully, December 8, 2019.
On August 21, 1948, she married Luther “Luke” King, and together they raised three children, Sally, Wayne and Sue. Luke passed away September 3, 1992.
Jean Ann graduated from Midland High in 1944, and went to work as a stenographer for the State of Michigan, working in Midland. In later years, after being a "stay-at-home mom," she worked part time for Clerc Bookkeeping. She was a very active charter member of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Midland. She and Luke were among the founders of the church in 1955. They were married in Midland, but Freeland has been their home since their marriage.
Nan is survived proudly by her children, Sally (Jerry) Putnam of Midland, Wayne (Susan) King of Freeland; grandchildren, Bradon (Alexandra) Smith, Tiffany (Brian) Nolan, Levi King and Kelsey (Andrew) Miller; great-grandchildren, Beckett Smith and Clare, Paul and Luke Nolan; sisters, Evelyn Cross and Maxine (Bill) Alward. Also surviving are several special nieces, nephews and godchildren. In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her daughter, Sue Ann Balzer; her son-in-law, Don Smith; and brother and sister-in-law, Charles (Laura) Millhisler.
Funeral and committal services will be held 11 a.m. Thursday, December 12, 2019 at Our Savior Lutheran Church, Midland. The Rev. Gary Lyvere will officiate.
