Lena Neal King

She’s Only Gone…at last, her gallant soul took flight into the land where there is no night, but her name is carved in our hearts to stay, as we think of the things that she used to say...

On early Friday, November 15, 2024, Lena Neal King, our beloved mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, cousin, and friend, passed into eternal rest.  Lena was born October 6, 1950, in Rockingham County to the late James Robert and Bessie Harris Neal.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles Irvin King, and sister, Lula Mae Neal.

As a native and lifelong resident of Rockingham County, she attended Booker T. Washington School.  Lena had a friendly personality (Proverbs 18:24), a BIG HEART, loved P.E.O.P.L.E., and always wore a BIG SMILE.  She was a former employer of Macfield/Unifi for over 30 years. In receiving and confession of her faith, she attended Rocky Ridge Missionary Baptist Church and Noah’s Ark Full Gospel Baptist Church and was a strong believer in the healing and deliverance of Jesus Christ.

Lena leaves to cherish and celebrate her memories: daughters, Margaret King Barham (David IV) of Reidsville, NC; Felicia King of Danville, VA; son, Clinton Lamont King (Crystal) of Greensboro, NC; niece, Meca’ala N. Maxey (Michael) of Greensboro, NC; eleven grandchildren, Michael A.
