Janell Heifner King, 72, a resident of Irving, Texas since 1970, passed away on Sunday May 21, 2023, at Baylor Scott & White hospital in Irving, surrounded by her loved ones. Born October 28, 1950, in McKinney, TX to James Maurell Heifner and Iola Rolf Heifner, she grew up within Collin County. She met the love of her life, Willis King, in college and they married on August 20, 1971, in Allen, TX. Married fifty years before his passing, they welcomed three children, five grandchildren and three great grandchildren, filling the home with so much love and laughter. While she loved her job as an accounting specialist over the years, family was first and foremost in her life. She was very involved in her childrens activities, including being the soccer and baseball teams mom, supplying snacks and anything needed for practices and games. While her husband was the face of the activities by being the coach of the sporting events and the Boy Scout Master, she was the backbone that kept the activities organized and running. She was the family matriarch, mediator, teacher, nurse/doctor/healer, cook, baker, strongest supporter and all-around glue that kept the family together. She did everything in her power to make sure every single person in the family felt loved and knew their worth. She is preceded in death by her mother, father, and loving husband. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Danny King and wife Jessica of Quitman, Texas, Robin King of Bedford and Brian King and his wife Karla, of Grand Prairie; one brother, Bobby Heifner of Allen, TX; five grandchildren, Justin King, Jacob King, Jocelyn King, Kaitlyn Spruce and Kamryn Spruce; three great - grandchildren, Lila, Noah and Katie as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.
