Connie Louise McComb King
Memorial Scholarship Fund
Prior to her death in 2009, Connie expressed an interest in starting a scholarship that would benefit a female Mount Hope HS graduate. She was born in Beckley and graduated from MHHS. She and her husband, Dennis King, lived, worked and raised their two daughters in Covington, VA. She owned and operated Chapman Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, and was honored on several occasions for her community service. Her husband, daughters Dawn Lewis and Tiffany Sanders, and cousins Dorothy Crouch and Jacquie McPeake, are fulfilling.
