Julie King Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 11, 2025.
Julie Marie Williams King, of Gardner, Kansas, age 64, passed peacefully in Olathe, Kansas on April 2, 2025. Julie was born on November 11, 1960 in Mason City, Iowa to Harlan James Williams and Johanna Mae Williams. Julie graduated from Gardner Edgerton High School, Class of 1979. In her professional career, she specialized in the screen printing industry and later worked as an administrative assistant at a CPA firm at the time of her passing.



Julie embraced the world with curiosity and enthusiasm. She had a wide range of interests such as dancing at concerts, attending car races, browsing craft shows, and creating beautiful memories on family vacations.

Julie had a deep love for life's quieter joys-music that stirred the soul, films that sparked wonder, and moments of stillness found in daily meditation. But nothing brought her more joy than time spent with her treasured grandsons, who lit up her life.

Her journey was one of courage and transformation; she overcame addiction with strength and grace, celebrating 11 years and 5 months of sobriety-a testament to her resilience and faith. Her relationship with her Lord and Savior became the cornerstone of her life, guiding her steps and bringing her peace. Julie embraced her faith with sincerity and joy, finding purpose in Bible studies, fellowship, and attending conferences with her dear friends and family.

Julie is survived by her four sons and daughter-in-laws: Jason Darr (Shalimar, FL) Kevin and Sarah Darr (Olathe , KS) Jeremy and Aubrey Darr (Garnett, KS), and Lucas Darr (Lenexa, KS). As well as four grandsons: Fisher, Finley, Zaylan, & Odin. She is further survived by her siblings and their spouses David and Shirley Williams, Casey Williams and Cindy Baker, Jerry and Lori Cordova and many beloved nieces. Julie is preceded in death by her husband Gary King, parents Harlan and Johanna Williams, and sister Sally Jo Williams.

Services will be held on April 13, 2025 at 4pm at Fellowship Bible Church,

16900 S. Waverly Road, Gardner KS, 66030.

I have been with you all today. I loved my sister-in- love very much.
I enjoyed spending time with her at family reunions and at other times together. I will miss her smiling face. Love to the whole family.
