Catherin King was born on January 31, 1952 to Ella Mae Johnson Thomas in Stuart, FL. She was raised and attended school in the Martin County School District in Stuart, FL graduating from Martin County High School in 1972.
Catherine later met and married James L. Fate. As time passed, they had three loving children: James, Chandell, and Jabbar. The family lived in Port Salerno, FL . Some time later, the couple divorced and Catherine along with her children moved to Richmond Hill, GA. While there, she became a member of Hope Hill Baptist Church.
Love found its way back into her life when she met Willie L. King. They married and moved back to Stuart, FL. To help support her family, she drove school buses. Her children attended and graduated from the schools of Martin County.
The family, again, moved back to Georgia . After a period of time driving school buses, she and her husband, Willie, started driving trucks for Melton, Inc. around the United States. As her health weakened, the family moved back to Stuart and later Fort Pierce, FL. While in Fort Pierce, she and her husband became members of New Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church on North 23rd Street.
