Muriel Louise King

Nov 23, 1930 -

Jun 24, 2026

Born in 1930, in Red Wing, Minn., to Arthur and Ruth Vieths, Muriel L. King became a longtime Alaska resident whose faith and strength touched all who knew her. On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family, Muriel left this earthly life to begin her eternal life with her Savior, Jesus Christ.

Muriel lived by the belief that, "You can't drive a car by looking in the rearview mirror." She often reminded those around her that during life's storms, we should not dwell on the past but instead look forward with hope and faith in what lies ahead.

Muriel was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Earl S. King, who passed away in 1991. Although they had no biological children, Muriel deeply loved her large extended family, whom she cherished as her own. She also shared a special bond with her faithful companion and best buddy, Stan.

Before her vision began to fail, Muriel found great joy in reading and studying the Bible. She also loved settling in with a good mystery or detective novel, always appreciating a well-told story and the challenge of solving the puzzle before the final page. Her unwavering faith was an inspiration to everyone who knew her.

A funeral to celebrate Muriel's life will be held on Thursday, July 2, 2026, at 10 a.m., at Anchorage Lutheran Church with lunch to follow. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance and thanksgiving for her life and enduring faith.

Muriel will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband, Earl, at Davis Memorial Park in East Las Vegas, Nev.
