Her unconditional love, her generous spirit, and her quiet yet unmistakable presence will be missed everyday. Ella's occasional spunk surprised us all, but her loyalty, support, and chile rellenos were forever reliable. Although we will continue to wish for more time with Ella in this world, we are comforted knowing she has joined those that she loved and lost; her parents, Desiderio and Bernadette Gurule; her twin sister, Della Gallegos; and her first son, Robby Gallegos. Ella has been entrusted to friends at Riverside Funeral Home.

He is remembered with love and pride by his devoted family and many friends. Born in Chicago on November 8, 1923, Frank was raised in El Dorado, AR with his older brother Garrett, and his younger sister Ethel. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1942 and was trained as a B-17 bomber pilot. Serving as Lieutenant and commander of a ten-man crew with the 96th Bomb Group, he was shot down on a bombing mission near Bremen, Germany on May 6, 1944. After ordering his crew to bail out, Lt. King brought his stricken plane in for a crash landing in order to save a wounded crewman who was unable to jump. He saved the crewman, but lost his leg as a result of the crash. Lt. King was a prisoner of war until he was repatriated by the International Red Cross in late 1944. Lt. King was awarded the USAF Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism in aerial battle, the USAF Air Medal for meritorious achievement in aerial battle, the Purple Heart for injuries received in battle and several other medals and awards for his valor and achievements while serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps.

Three of their four sons were born in Albuquerque between 1947 and 1951. The King family briefly moved to the San Diego area in 1952, where their fourth son was born. They returned to Albuquerque for good that same year. Frank and Ann raised all four sons to adulthood in the house which remains the King residence in the S. E. Heights. Their oldest son, Major Frank L. King, III, was tragically killed in 1985 while training soldiers in desert warfare at Ft. Irwin, CA. Frank King's engineering career included tenures at Sandia Laboratories, Machine Engineering, Inc, American Car and Foundry, the Frank L. King Company, and numerous consulting positions around the nation. Frank was employed by the City of Grants, NM in March of 1978 as the first City Engineer in Grants history.
