Liana G. King passed away suddenly, and without warning on January 6, 2025, to the shock and disbelief of everyone she knew. At the young age of sixty, Liana was healthy and in good shape. She left us all with a cannon wound in our hearts and a plethora of memories to last the rest of our lives. Liana had a gift for keeping things real and

oftentimes, painfully honest. She was clever and told stories so visually that they came to life. Liana looked for every opportunity to laugh and surrounded herself with other like-minded friends, but she also

possessed a great capacity for listening and wisdom to advise. She couldn’t stand that most people mispronounced her name (Lee-on-aah) but, if you got it right the first time, you were obviously intelligent. Most of us who knew her well called her Liana Bean or Na.

Liana was born and raised in Livonia, Michigan, moving only to Georgia her last year of high school, and then never leaving. Liana married long enough to have her beloved and equally fun-loving son, Alex, and she always said that if you do it right the first time, then why mess with perfection? Liana and Alex shared a twisted sense of humor, superb musical taste, and a love of the outdoors and road trips.

Liana had a great capacity for generosity and loved cooking; she took care of friends, and friends of friends. Liana had the ability to reach most anyone on their level, although she couldn’t tolerate ignorance or stupidity. Liana was friends with people of any age and related so well to them that people who called her “best friend” vary greatly.

Liana was preceded in death by her mother Judith Stephens, her father Richard King, her loving grandparents Roy and Evelyn Niedermiller, and Alexander and Jenni King, her dogs; King, Bear, Bullet, Panda, and a cat named Dawn. She is survived by her son Alexander Queen, and her sisters Karen King, Holly King, Pamela Lake, and Nancy Shaw, three nephews Braxton, Weston, and Christopher, two nieces Cory and Jenni, and her dog, Cheyenne.

A memorial gathering is being held privately, with close friends and family. In lieu of gifts and

flowers, any contributions to a housing fund would be greatly appreciated. The link to donate to this is: https://everloved.com/life-of/liana-g-king/
