Nelle Priester King

Nelle Priester King, a long-time member of the Selma Business Community, passed away Sunday March 16, 2008 after a lengthy illness. Graveside services will be held Tuesday March 18, 2008 at 11:00 A.M. at New Live Oak Cemetery with Dr. John Fain officiating and Lawrence Brown-Service Funeral Home directing. Mrs. King, along with her late husband Craig S King, Jr. owned and operated three Selma businesses simultaneously.

King Construction Co. laid the groundwork for the opening of King Realty and later for King Building Material.

Nelle became the backbone of the businesses one year after Mr. King opened King Construction Co.

Due to the declining health of Mr. King, Mrs. King stepped in to support and direct the protocols of the business.

Together Mr. and Mrs. King created a construction dynasty that was located mostly in North Selma.

Most homes located between Edgewood School north to the Tally-Ho Restaurant and beyond were the result of the working relationship and partnership of the &8220;King Team&8221;.

After the success of King Construction Co. and King Realty, Mr. King purchased Selma Building Materials from Cooper Brothers in 1978.

The name changed to King Building Material under the direction of Mr. King with Mrs. King again at his side.

It was during this time that Mrs. King lost her husband and business partner to a lengthy heart illness.

King Building Material was now in the hands of Mrs. King.

With determination and perseverance, she carried the business of her late husband successfully until her health began to deteriorate.

It was at this time that Mrs. King and her family had to make the decision to sell the business. Mrs. King is survived by her son, Craig S (Tammy) King, III, and daughters, Elizabeth &8220;Libba&8221; King (Bobby) Guyton, Carolyn &8220;Sis&8221; King (Ronnie) Yarbrough, and LaDayne King (Brian) Williamson, grandchildren, Robert Lashley (Mandy) Guyton, Jr. of Warrensburg, MO, Austin Smith Guyton, Edward Bryant (Whitney) Yarbrough of Troy, AL, Stewart Morgan Yarbrough, Laura La Dayne Williamson, Amanda Joy Williamson, and Craig King IV, and two great grandsons, Ryan Thomas Guyton and Ethan Lashley Guyton both of Warrensburg, MO, two sisters, Jeanne Priester and Ruth Priester Spencer both of Auburn, AL, and numerous nieces and nephews. Mrs. King was preceded in death by her parents, C.

Bruce and Elizabeth Reeder Priester of Stonewall, and sister, Martha Priester Jolly of Lake Charles, AL.
