Nancy King Obituary
Published by Legacy on Nov. 18, 2025.
Nancy Rauschuber King, a beloved family member, cherished friend, and devoted educator, passed away peacefully on November 14, 2025. Born on March 20, 1936, in Olean, New York, Nancy was the daughter of Lois Charlotte Porsch and Roland Franklin Lollar. Her early years were marked by curiosity, compassion, and a deep commitment to learning - qualities that came to define her life's work.
Nancy graduated from Ottawa High School in Kansas before pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Education from Emporia State Teachers College (now Emporia State University), where she earned her degree in 1957. Her passion for education later inspired her to earn a Master's Degree in Administration and Supervision from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, in 1982.
Over the course of more than 37 years in education, Nancy touched countless lives. She began her teaching career in Ottawa, Kansas, where she spent six years teaching third, fourth, and sixth grades. She went on to teach for ten years in Iowa Park, Texas, spending one year as a first-grade teacher and nine years in Special Education. Her journey continued in Klein ISD in Spring, Texas, where she served for seventeen years, including one year in Special Education and sixteen years teaching junior high mathematics. Nancy later dedicated four years to St. Anne's in Tomball, Texas, where she served as an administrator and mentor to teachers and students alike.
Nancy was preceded in death by her late husbands, Frank Rauschuber, George Gunter, and Bill King, as well as her sisters, Joan Patricia Lollar Sleeper and Carol Ann Lollar Perry. She is survived by her stepchildren Richard (Ann) Rauschuber, Robert (Bonnie) Rauschuber, Donald (Beverly) Rauschuber, Karen King, and Lisa King; five grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews who loved her dearly.
Beyond her professional life, Nancy found joy in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF), treasured friendships, and traveling. Her warmth, generosity, and unwavering faith touched all who knew her. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren, who will forever remember her as a loving, lighthearted, and generous spirit, and the numerous trips they took visiting her and their late "gramps." She enjoyed adventuring and playing games together, not to mention falling victim to their numerous playful and convivial pranks.
Nancy King's legacy lives on through the many students she inspired, the colleagues she uplifted, and the family she cherished. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
