Donna Lee King died at age 6 of leukemia in 1956. She lived just over the hillside at 80 Overbeck Street. James E. King and Verna E. Walter were her parents. James W. [Bill], Linda, Patricia, Mary Beth and Amy Sue are her siblings. Donna has an In Memoriam headstone where her parents, brother, grandfather, great grandparents [maternal] are interred at West View Cemetery in Avonmore PA, Westmoreland County. She was a favorite of Tippie the cemetery caretaker for many years. She died at Allegheny General Hospital which can be seen from her grave. The nurses there bought my Mother and Father a copy of The Littlest Angel by Charles Tazewell and indeed, she was. Red Skelton took his son on a world tour at the same time Donna was dying of the same disease. 50 years later her sister Mary Beth would be ravaged by the same disorder.
