Martha King, 83, of Marvell, Arkansas passed away peacefully Monday, November 9, 2020 in Harrisburg, Arkansas surrounded by her family. She was born July 8, 1937 in Spiro, Oklahoma to the late Audrey Jobe Hickman and Dave Jobe.

Heaven gained one of the most beautiful angels this afternoon. Granny, we love you so much but you're with Jesus now.

If you knew Martha King, you loved her. She was fierce. She was bossy. She was sassy. But, she loved everyone. She loved her grandkids and her great-great grandkids. Most importantly, She loved Jesus.

Her favorite color was red. She loved red lipstick, red clothes and her nails were painted red. Because her baby's favorite color was red. She loved getting her hair done on Thursdays!! She loved drinking coke and eating peanut butter on absolutely anything! I always asked her how she did it. She loved Ramon noodles and making deviled eggs. She always made me get in the kitchen and help her! I remember taking her on her first side by side ride to the park. She was kind of dizzy afterwards and would rather catch a ride home!! But I know she secretly had fun;)
she also attended Cypert Church of Christ in Marvell, Arkansas and later attended Harrisburg Church of Christ in Harrisburg, Arkansas. She enjoyed cooking and playing with her grandchildren.

We're going to miss her so much, but we know she's in a better place and no longer suffering.
She was one in a million. She was a good granny. She was the best granny.
Love you so much granny King.
