Jacqueline K. (Thomas) King departed this life on Friday, December 3, 2021 in Lawton, Oklahoma. Jacqueline was born on August 11, 1960 to the late Paul and Flossie (Biddle) Thomas in Haynesville, Louisiana.

Jacqueline grew up and lived in military communities all her life.

Jacqueline started working with a government contractor for the federal government in 1984 and Civil Service in 1995. She started working for the Housing Division of the Directorate of Public Works in 2005 as a Housing Specialist, finally culminating her service as the Housing Services Office Senior Specialist. Jacqueline literally helped and aided thousands of soldiers and their Families while in Housing Services. Her praises and awards ranged from the newest Private all the way to the Commanding General. Her past and current co-workers will miss her positive attitude and friendship. She had over 26 years of outstanding experience.

Jacqueline enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She was known for having an infectious laugh and humorous demeanor that was most contagious. Her children and grandchildren meant the world to her as she often spent countless hours celebrating birthdays, playing games, singing songs, shopping, and even cooking with them. They loved their Gigi and she loved them.
