Former First Lady Alice King

Former First Lady and wife of Bruce King passed away Sunday in Albuquerque after a stroke. Alice King was 78 and had made her mark on New Mexico as a woman who cared about our states children. Mrs. King lead the effort to create the Children, Youth and Families Department here in New Mexico. Mrs. King was a supporter of our new Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in her run for president. In 1986 Mrs. King was named to the NM Hall of Fame. Our prayers are with her family at this sad time.
