Lisa King

Lisa Marie King, age 61, passed away peacefully at home on May 5, 2024. She was born on February 7, 1963, in Royal Oak to Dr. John “Jack” Pearl and Sharon Hampton Pearl. Lisa was a proud graduate of Birmingham Groves High School, initially pursued nursing at Grand Valley State University and then obtained her degree in dental hygiene from Ferris State University. During her college years, she crossed paths with the love of her life, Rob King. The couple exchanged vows on March 25, 1988, at St. Daniel Catholic Church in Clarkston. They began their journey together in Auburn Hills and then settled in Royal Oak in 1990. She was a loving mother to their two children and modeled unwavering strength, faith, compassion, and authentic kindness. She cherished spending time with her sisters, fondly known as the "Pearl Girls," and they often embarked on shopping expeditions and travel excursions together. Lisa had a passion for shopping and loved anything pink and sparkly. Black Friday was one of her favorite “holidays” as she relished the thrill of scoring a doorbuster deal and even had matching t-shirts for the big day with her sisters, daughter, and nieces. Family was paramount to Lisa, and she shared a nearly 40 year bond with her husband, Rob. Their complementary personalities made them soulmates. Lisa found joy while relaxing in their garden watching for hummingbirds. Her favorite place to be was in the sun; on the beach and by the pool, and anywhere with family. Lisa's love for spending time with family extended to annual trips to East Tawas and Hutchinson Island, FL and Forest Hills Swim Club as a life member. As a skilled Dental Hygienist for over 30 years, she touched the lives of many throughout her community with her positivity and genuine connection. She was also a member of National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica for many years and found strength and comfort in her faith. Lisa is survived by her beloved husband, Rob, and her loving children, Brian (Amanda) King and Jaime (Stephen) Rosenberg. She was preceded in death by her parents, Sharon and John “Jack” Pearl, DDS, her sister, Marci Pearl Francis and her brother, baby John Michael. Lisa will be dearly missed by her sisters, Shari (Paul, DDS) Mansky, Lori (Steve) MacKillop, and Jenni (Jeff) Anderson, as well as her numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial visitation will be held on Saturday, May 11, from 1-7 pm, with a memorial service at 3 pm at Wm. Sullivan & Son Funeral Home, 705 W. 11 Mile Rd, (4 blks E. of Woodward), Royal Oak. In lieu of flowers; Lisa's daily approach to life was to bring happiness and health to others.
