Patricia Ann King (Ms. Pat), 89 years old, went to be with the lord on Sunday, July 17th, 2022. She was born on June 20, 1933 in Pawnee, Oklahoma to parents Clifford and Pauline Schornick. On May 4, 1947, she was baptized at Immanuel Baptist Church in Wichita, Kansas and she spent the rest of her life devoted to God and was an active prayer warrior. She graduated from Wichita High School East in 1951. She had four children with her first marriage but later married the love of her life, Herman Warren King, at United Methodist Church of Wichita on May 3, 1974.
She is preceded in death by her mother Pauline and father Clifford Schornick, sister Betty DeCourse, husband Warren King and twin grandchildren, Timothy and Thomas Huskey.
She is survived by her siblings; Cliff Schornick and Gene Wright. She leaves behind her children, Brad & Bertagene Barrett of Waco, TX, Valarie & Kent Long of Wichita, KS, Brian & Rose Barrett of Honolulu, HI, and Crystal Mills of Conway, AR; her grandchildren, Brooke Malthesen, Jeffrey Huskey, Steven Huskey, Lauren Barrett, Kendall Barrett, Tori Cobbs, Brandon Mills and MacKenzie Mills; and her great-grandchildren, Cole & Ellie Malthesen, Jackson, Jocelyn, Jameson, Landon & Mason Huskey, Mia & Abby Lewis and Ryder Mills. In addition Ms. Pat was also known as “mom” to her foreign exchange students; Johan Lindholm, Vanessa Sanchez.
Ms. Pat taught swimming and ran an in-home daycare for years. She also worked for the Boot Hill Museum for many years. Her grandchildren were considered her pride and joy. She loved being around kids. Her happiest memories included taking her grandchildren to places such as Boot Hill and Branson, Missouri. She never met a stranger and had the gift of gab. She will be adding a ray of sunshine down on all of those that she loved.
There will be a private memorial service for the family at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the American Cancer Society for Breast Cancer, honoring three of her own children surviving breast cancer.
