Bio
Dathon Faye Reaves King went home to be with her Lord on September 2, 2015 following a lengthy illness. She was born in Whitney, TX to Arthur Madison and Lola Belle Reaves on September 20, 1927. Dathon attended school in Mertens, Texas, where in the 5th grade she met the love of her life, Jessie Carl King. The two married on June 21, 1945. The couple moved often due to Jessie being in the Army and his pipeline job. They lived in Texas, Colorado, Ohio, New Jersey, and settling in Niland, CA in January of 1956. Dathon began working as the librarian for the Niland Elementary School in 1967, then transferring to Calipatria High School in 1970, where she worked until her retirement on June 30, 1990. Following retirement and to escape the heat, the couple traveled to Gunnison, CO during the summer months. Dathon loved to crochet, read and being with family especially her grandchildren. She also enjoyed going to church, watching NASCAR and other sports on TV. Dathon was preceded in death by her parents and one son, Wendell in 2010.
