Mrs. King was born on June 19, 1935, in Rawlins, Wyoming, and was lovingly raised by Harry and Mary Seydel, who were her devoted parents. At the age of 13, she moved from Washington, D.C., to Fort Pierce, Florida, where she would spend the rest of her life.

Known for her warm hospitality, Mary Ann was also a wonderful cook, especially famous for her peanut butter pies. Above all, she deeply loved and cherished her family.

She was a long-time member of Indian River Presbyterian Church.
