• Notes

  Leta Faye King November 8, 1956 — May 5, 2025 Junction City Leta Faye King (née Kramer), 68, of Junction City, Kansas, passed away peacefully on May 5, 2025. A memorial service will be held at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Junction City on Friday, June 6, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. Leta was born on November 8, 1956, in Junction City to Elmer and Leona Kramer, and was proud to call the city her lifelong home. She dedicated many years of service to the City of Junction City, working at the airport before stepping away from her career due to health reasons. She then returned home to focus on what she cherished most: caring for her family. A devoted mother to Jasmine, Michelle, and Emily, and a beloved grandmother and "bonus mom" to many, Leta had a boundless capacity for love and kindness. She adored babysitting and was a familiar, welcoming face to countless children — especially her grandchildren — after school from nearby Sheridan Elementary. Leta was endlessly creative, with hobbies including gardening, sewing, painting, and crafting. She had a special passion for up-cycling and re-purposing old items into something beautiful and useful. Before leaving the workforce, she studied to become an EMT, driven by her deep desire to help others. A lifelong member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Leta's faith and generosity shaped the way she lived. She was known for her joyful smile, compassionate spirit, and legendary hugs. Her love extended not only to people but also to her cherished cats, dogs, and grand-dogs. Leta was preceded in death by her parents, Elmer and Leona Kramer, and her nephew, Joshua Kramer, and her two best friends, Wanda Coleman and Sylvia Niemczyk. She is survived by her husband, Rodney Dean King; her daughters, Jasmine Stewart (Mike), Michelle King, and Emily King; and her beloved grandchildren: Audrienna, Alaina, Colton, and Julian. She is also survived by her siblings: Sybil Kramer, Annette Kramer, Janice Kramer, Judy (Jerry) Palmer, Alvin (Mary Menard) Kramer, and Ron (Kathy) Kramer. Leta is lovingly remembered by her grand-dog, Hank, and many others whose lives she touched. Leta Faye King will be remembered as a light of love in her community, whose warmth, strength, and laughter will be dearly missed.
