Ann Louise King, 75, of Millsboro, formerly of New Castle County, peacefully went home to be with the Lord Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023, surrounded by family at Accent Care Hospice, ChristianaCare in Newark.
Ann was born in Wilmington May 14, 1948, daughter of the late Harold F. Haigh and the late Ann Louise (Vari) Haigh. She was a graduate of Conrad High School in Wilmington.

Solution and Choice Seating in their sales department.
