Sarah King Wilson
1929-2015
Sarah Elisabeth King was born August 7, 1929, in Dallas, Texas, the fourth child of Carey Gray King and Elisabeth Tinkle King. Sarah had three brothers; Carey Jr., Frank and Charles. The family home on Waneta Drive was a popular meeting place for young people of all ages. The attic was a favorite playground for Sarah and her friends. Sunday afternoons attracted a crowd when Sarah's daddy made home-made hand-cranked ice cream. Sarah was well-traveled as a child, going to camp in New Mexico, Colorado, and Wisconsin. She attended the Hockaday School in Dallas and Fairfax Hall in Virginia. She graduated from Highland Park High School and attended the University of Texas where she was a Tri-Delt. Sarah married Billy Wilson in November 1949 and they moved to Houston. They had three children; Caren Elisabeth, Bill III, and Robin Lee, and four family dogs; Gus, Molly Brown, Snoopy and Charlie. Sarah volunteered for the first incarnation of the Houston Center for Retarded Children. Later she got involved with the Alley Theatre, serving as a docent at the "new" Alley Theatre and was a founding member of the Alley Theatre Guild. Company Dinners prepared by the Guild, a favorite for cast and crew members, later launched "Cookbook" one of the Alley's finest productions. "Miz Wilson" worked for many years as receptionist for the doctors at Houston Orthopedic Associates at the Sharpstown and Park Plaza offices. After she retired, Sarah volunteered at Houston Taping for the Blind reading the news and editing books on tape. She loved to travel and made trips to England, Greece, France and other parts of Europe with dear friends and traveling buddies. She had a real fascination for American Indians and took continuing education courses at the University of Houston which included an archeological dig at Crow Canyon. In the year 2000, Sarah said good-bye to Houston and moved to the clean air of the Hill Country. She quit smoking and assembled a delightful assortment of friends in Kerrville and Comfort. Sarah and Caren spent Sunday afternoons wining and dining at her apartment overlooking Quinlan Creek, watching the birds and wildlife, and philosophically solving the problems of the world. They regularly attended performances at the Point Theatre in Ingram and the Cailloux Center for the Performing Arts in Kerrville. Sarah was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2012. She died August 10, 2015, three days after her 86th birthday. Sarah is survived by her oldest brother, Dr Carey King, 95, of Dallas, daughter Caren, son Bill, four grandchildren, two great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews. In keeping with her wishes, no services will be held.
