Karla Leigh King was born May 15, 1975 in Thief River Falls, MN, the daughter of Loren E. and Glenyce F. (Bakken) Lusignan. Karla grew up in Grygla, Minnesota attending school and graduating from Grygla High School in 1993. She continued her education at Northland College in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

Together they made their home in Thief River Falls and Mankato; Fort Collins, CO, Delta Junction, AK, Spearman, TX and moved to the Grand Rapids, area in 2013.
Karla can be remembered for her gift of hospitality as she loved cooking for her family and friends, Wednesday Night Meal at church, and even packing food for Brent’s entire trip when he traveled for work!
