Louise King's Obituary
Louise King, 83, of Midland, peacefully passed away on June 4, 2025, in Spartanburg, SC. A funeral service to celebrate her life will be held at 4:00 PM on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at Howells Baptist Church, with Rev. Stacy Pearson and Rev. Edward “Buster” Pigg officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends from 3:00 to 4:00 PM in the church sanctuary prior to the service.
Born on March 20, 1942, in Cabarrus County, NC, she was the daughter of the late John Haywood Lowder and Vassie Dorton Lowder. Louise worked as a seamstress at Zimmermans in Concord until the company’s closing and was a devoted member of Howells Baptist Church.
Louise will be remembered by her loved ones as kindhearted, loving, generous, and faithful. She had a gentle spirit and a servant’s heart. She found joy in sewing, working puzzles, and spending time in the mountains. She was always willing to lend a hand, often preparing meals or helping clean for those in her church family who were ill or in need.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of many years, Fred Lee King, in 2022.
She is survived by her daughter Debra Green of Stanfield, son John King of Midland, brother Gene Lowder of Locust, sister Margie Long of Stanfield, grandchildren Richard Scott Dixon and wife Christy of Union, SC, and Ethan Green of Stanfield, as well as four great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Howells Baptist Church, 3800 Baptist Ln, Concord, NC 28025.
