Eve Marie King, 60-years-old, died on Friday, Novenber 2, 2018, at her home in Macon, GA. After her valiant fight with Breast Cancer in 2006, Eve’s battle resumed in May 2010 with Stage 4 Breast Cancer that spread to the bones. Her strong will to live, unwavering faith in God, and the love and prayers of family, friends, and many supporters carried her through 4 more months of grueling Chemotherapy. Yet even throughout her own struggle with Cancer, she reached out to others affected by the horrendous disease in many ways and Support Groups with other Survivors.

Eve was born on April 22, 1958 in San Francisco, California to Andrew and Mary Ann Johnson . Eve was the the oldest of 2 girls-Sister Virginia Johnson-Matthews

Known for her ease in frequent conversation with even total strangers, some may be surprised to learn of the extreme shyness of her youth. Yet even as a child, she possessed a contagious smile and an entertaining sense of humor. Throughout her life she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor that won the trust and hearts of many, who even now are being changed by her witness of constant nurturing love and faith. Her signature gift of joy, shown through her constant smiling, laughter, and joking around, will never be forgotten.

After graduating from Balboa High School and working as a Secretary, she met her Sweetheart, Ellis King Sr., during a summer camping trip. The couple was married the following year on January 12, 1985 at St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Richmond, California.

Married for 33 years, Eve & Ellis King Sr. raised their 4 children, Ellis Jr., Marlone, Tyrell and Step Daughter Eugenia Ellis's Daughter from a previous relationship whom Eve Loved and adored as her own. They lived many years in California, and finally relocating to Georgia.
Possessing a true servant’s heart, Eve faithfully cared for family and friends through delicious cooking/baking from scratch – including cake decorating, sewing and crafting. A woman of faith and the heart of the King family, Eve shaped their spirituality by her tireless Christian example, and also through various prayer groups and activities. With a real zest for life, Mrs. King loved to dance, write, read, pray, bowl, play games/cards – especially with her Grandchildren, chat with friends and family, and travel…just to name a few.

Her surviving family members are numerous, but mainly include:
Husband of 33 years: Ellis King Sr.
Mother of 4 Children: Ellis King Jr., Marlone King, Tyrell King, and Eugenia Joyner
Grandmother to 6: Chyna, Jayden, and Mason King Joyner, Dakaria and Dakota King, and Marianna King
Immediate family: Sister and Brother -In -Law - Marcus and Virginia Johnson-Matthews
Other family members: Unfortunately too many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews, and God-children to list or even count.
