	WHEREAS, Memories of a life filled with joyful times and
	meaningful accomplishments remain to comfort the family and friends
	of Paulette Brooks King of Canadian, who passed away on September
	12, 2013, at the age of 64; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Canadian on March 4, 1949, the former
	Paulette Brooks was the youngest of eight children of Buster and
	Winnie Brooks; growing up, she shared a special bond with her older
	sisters; as a teenager, she worked as a carhop at a local drive-in;
	it was there she met her future husband, Buddy King, whom she
	married on December 22, 1965; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. King was a partner and bookkeeper in the family
	business, and she became the devoted mother of three children,
	Kristi, Kari, and Ken; during their youth, she attended every
	sporting event, dance recital, school play, and rodeo competition
	they participated in; she was a talented cook, and everyone looked
	forward to sharing the meals she prepared for holidays and other
	occasions; bright and intuitive, she always stood ready to help
	solve any problem that might arise; and
	WHEREAS, In later years, Ms. King welcomed seven
	grandchildren and a great-grandchild into her treasured family; she
	devoted even more time to serving her church, Abundant Life
	Assembly of God, and she enjoyed traveling with her husband to
	antique auctions, where she encountered many members of her large,
	eclectic circle of friends; and
	WHEREAS, Even while battling ovarian cancer, Ms. King
	remained the pillar of her family, and she took tender care of her
	husband following his heart surgery; her grace, courage, and deep
	faith were an inspiration to all, and she is one of the namesakes of
	the KK125 Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation, cofounded by her son,
	State Representative Ken King; and
	WHEREAS, Paulette King brought joy to innumerable people
	through her warmth and kindness, and she will forever hold a special
	place in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her;
	now, therefore, be it
