Julia Estelle King nee Luckey was born in Milam County, Texas to John R. and Enolie (Miller) Luckey. She was one of nine children and was raised in the rural farm communities near Rockdale. She attended schools in San Anders and San Gabriel. She and William Forrest King were married at Sandow on September 21, 1936. They had one daughter.
Julia was a lifelong member of the First Baptist Church of Rockdale. She also attended churches at Salty and San Gabriel in her early years. She was a devout Christian and loved her church and church family. She was a Sunday school teacher for Bethany Sunday school class and for many years was active in the elder ministry Monday AM program provided for the residents of Manor Oaks Nursing Home. She was a private duty nurse and caregiver.
Julia's love for her family was her greatest joy next to her love of music and playing the piano and singing gospel and folk songs. Her beautiful life spanned World War I, the Great Depression, World War II and all the recent conflicts. She survived a serious bout with cancer when she was in her early thirties. She lived a simple life and never tired of "giving" of herself to help others. Her sweet smile, gentle nature and lovely blue eyes endeared her to those who knew her. Her feisty spirit, however, was one to be dealt with carefully.
Julia passed away on a Thursday morning in the Rockdale Residence and Rehabilitation Center where she had resided for the past seven years. She was preceded in death by her husband on March 15, 1967; her son-in-law Brady Nelson, Sr. on October 6, 2010; five brothers, three sisters and her parents. Funeral services were held on Sunday, August 3, 2014 at First Baptist Church in Rockdale with Rev. Bruce Mercer, Gentiva Hospice Chaplain and Brother David Kaufman officiating. Burial was next to her husband in the Salty Cemetery near Thorndale. phillipsandluckey.com
