Betty Ireland King

March 4, 1933 - March 5, 2021

Betty Ireland King, 88, passed peacefully in her sleep on March 5, 2021 at Skyline Terrace Assisted Living Facility in Woodstock, Virginia. She was born March 4, 1933 in Federalsburg, MD to Edgar and Eleanor Ireland. Betty graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor's Degree in Education. She later went on to attend Salisbury State University majoring in Special Education. Her love of teaching lead her to work at Epworth Christian School in Laurel, DE until her retirement. After retirement she went on to work part time with Special Ed students in Federalsburg. She often had students come to her house for lessons and lunch. Above all she cherished time with those she held most dear. Betty was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, friend and teacher who will be deeply missed. She also enjoyed gardening, her pets and was an avid reader. Betty is survived by her children: Teresa Willey and her husband Doug, Philip King and his wife Ann; three grandchildren, Jacob Schrock, Justin Schrock, and Emily King. Betty's family wish to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Skyline Terrace Assisted Living. She enjoyed being there and would frequently comment on how wonderfully they treated her. On February 4th, 2020 she was crowned their Valentines Queen, an event she loved to reminisce about. Services will be held at a later date.
