It is with inconsolable grief that we announce the passing of Lenny King, at the age of 72, on February 11, 2021, at the UCLA-Sta. Monica Medical Center in Los Angeles California. She is survived by her husband, Robin King, children Margarette, Kenneth, Kathleen, and Jonathan, children-in-law Jocelino Joun, Milagros Lao, Brent Santos and Mara Figueroa and grandchildren, Matthew, Samantha, Nicholas, Madison, Dylan, Ryder, Hunter, Karl, Justin, Ian, Danielle, Ethan and Taylor.

     Born in Manila, Philippines, Lenny King graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Social Science at the University of San Carlos, Philippines where she met her future husband, Robin King. They were subsequently married in 1968 at the Archbishop's Palace in Cebu City. After a brief sojourn in Cebu, the young couple eventually moved to Paranaque City, where they have maintained residence since 1975.

     While her husband pursued his career as a banking professional, Lenny fully devoted herself to raising and nurturing her children who were born in quick succession, Margarette in 1969, Kenneth in 1970, Kathleen in 1972 and Jonathan in 1976. As the children began schooling and Lenny found herself with time to spare, she became involved with helping the parish community of the Marcelo Green Village Catholic Church.

     In 1994, Lenny and Robin with their children moved to Los Angeles, California, where Robin continued his banking career. Lenny, on the other hand, picked up her homemaking where she left off in the Philippines, but this time, in happily marrying off her children. First, Margarette to Jocelino Joun in 1993, then Kathleen to Brent Santos in 1998, Kenneth to Milagros Lao in 2001, and finally, Jonathan to Mara Figueroa in 2003. 

     Then came the grandchildren, Matthew in 1994, Samantha in 1996, Nicholas and Karl in 1999, Justin in 2002, Danielle in 2004, Dylan in 2005, Ian and Ethan in 2008, Madison in 2009, Ryder in 2011, Taylor in 2012 and finally, Hunter in 2013. Lenny doted on her grandchildren and spent hours taking care of them and lavishing them abundantly with her love and affection. 

     And that is what we celebrate in Lenny's life, her selfless love as a wife, mother and grandmother. But now at her passing, we have come to realize how much she also touched others with her openness, eagerness to help and always cheerful disposition. Her own siblings, brothers and sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, cousins, other relatives and friends are all mourning the loss of Lenny. She loved to sing and dance, savor Japanese and other Asian delicacies, travel abroad, dress elegantly, entertain people, endlessly chat with relatives and friends either personally or on the smartphone, and just being a joy to everyone. Exemplary in her devotion to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and to the Blessed Virgin Mary, she returned to her Creator on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.

    Although the family encourages relatives and friends to pay their respects privately due to the coronavirus pandemic, we shall announce later the schedules of any public viewing, live stream access or funeral service which the Forest Lawn Cemetery may permit as well as the social distancing protocols which may be enforced.
