With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Dr. Reauelle King on January 17, 2025, after a courageous five-month battle with cancer.

Born on November 12, 1972, Reauelle lived a life full of achievement, humor and love. She was an excellent student and valedictorian of Portville Central High School’s class of 1991 and a 1995 honors graduate of William Smith College (Geneva, NY). Her passion for helping others and a desire from a very young age to be a doctor led her to SUNY Health Science Center - Syracuse, where she graduated from medical school in 1999. Reauelle started her career in family medicine before finding her passion in sleep – helping others sleep well. Throughout her career she was fortunate to have numerous colleagues who were also her friends.

Reauelle married the love of her life, Jeffrey King, on June 23, 2001. They shared 23 wonderful years together, raising three amazing boys: Jon, Andrew, and Rhett. She was a proud boy mom – a lacrosse boy mom – through and through. She so loved and was loved by all her lacrosse families. All who knew her can attest that she was a smart, strong, compassionate, good-humored, problem solving, beautiful wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt and friend.

Reauelle is survived by husband Jeff and her boys; mother Suzanne King; in-laws Donald and Capri King; loving siblings Shannon (Todd) Santee, Sean King, Megan King, Vince (Ashleigh) King, and Casey (Cindy) King; brother and sister-in-law David and Lisa King and soul sister Kathleen (Chris) Hulburt; her adoring nieces and nephews, Jake and Kenzie King, Harper and Charlie Santee, Griffin, Keegan, and Maggie King, Emmett and Monreau King; and numerous cousins.  

She is preceded in death by her father Bart King and nephew Finnegan King.

A vigil will be held at 12:15 pm at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 300 11800 S, Draper, Utah 84020, on Saturday, January 25, 2025, with a funeral mass at 1 pm and an open house celebrating Reauelle’s life in the Multi-Purpose Room of the St. John the Baptist Elementary School. The mass will be livestreamed and can be joined by clicking the "Watch Services" button above.

In lieu of flowers and in honor of Reauelle and her life of helping others, the family suggests making a contribution to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance (www.colorectalcancer.org).

Guestbook/Condolences

What a beautiful soul, she is already missed. Our love goes out to you and your family.

- Alyssa

Reauelle will be so deeply missed. It was truly a privilege and joy to work with her these past several years. She was a force for good, always working to make things better. My deepest sympathies and condolences to her family.

- Kevin

Dr. King, you will be dearly missed by everyone in our clinics. Rest in Peace and Condolences to your husband especially your kids and your whole family. We love you.

- SAITUTUILA AILUA

We send our sincere condolences to the family. Reauelle was a colleague at the Geisinger Medical
Group in State College, PA and also served as my wife's primary physician. She was an excellent physician who truly cared about her patients. More importantly, she was a lovely person who was good hearted, kind, funny, and a pleasure to be around. This world has truly lost a talented and wonderful soul.

- Bill & Norma Ayoub

Reauelle was an incredible mentor and even more, an amazing person. She moved from Pennsylvania to Utah at the same time I was hired in the same clinic she had just started in. What are the chances that a short red-headed lacrosse mom from Pennsylvania ended up in the same office as a short red-headed lacrosse kid from Utah? We were instant friends. There are no coincidences. God knows. We were blessed to call her a friend.

- Robbie and Natalie

Sending prayers and thought for you and your family in your loss. Reauelle was a very special person.

- Pete and Kathie Hulburt

Dr. King was an amazing person full of compassion for any and everyone. She was super fun to be around and an all around great person! You will be missed thanks for the memories!

- Anthony La Rue

I AM SO SORRY SUZIE THAT YOUR PRECIOUS DAUGHTER WENT TO.HEAVEN SO EARLY IN LIFE. GOD BLESS.YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. LOVE YOU. ❤️

- CAROLE BURR.

We didn't realize it at the time, but we were neighbors on Shamrock Avenue in State College, PA. Jeff purchased my boys' things for her boys in our yard sales. I wish I had met the redhead (I'm a redhead) I saw walking down Shamrock often sooner than when our paths crossed during the Mount Nittany Health Charity Ball; although it wasn't exactly her cup of tea, she proved to be an incredible asset to the committee, staying level-headed during the hectic moments. Her mile says it all. Sending prayers and peace to her family and friends. We are mourning in Happy, not so happy, Valley today. . .RIP my friend, I'm so sorry.

- Melissa Aungst Marshall

Reaulle will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all who were blessed to know her. My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. Peace and comfort to all.

- Mimi Wight Shaner

We met the King's when they moved to Utah and instantly connected with them, and we started coaching Rhett in little league football. Rhett is like our own son, and we will be here to support always! Reauelle also was my sleep doctor and helped me years ago get all hooked up with the thing I needed. She was the best at what she did and was always so caring and attentive. We will miss her dearly and will always be in our hearts and thoughts!

- Adam Ware

Reauelle 😭 you’re the best! Top Five, most memorable one of them ones🙏🏼

I am so sad to hear of her passing. She was a shining light when I worked with her.

Reauelle left a profound impact on those who were fortunate enough to know her. Her kindness and compassion showed with every interaction. You could always count on her if you needed anything or just chatting about our families. Her bright smile will be missed terribly.

- Tonya

My heart breaks for the entire King Family and our community of Portville, NY. Please know we will never forget the beautiful life of Reauelle. Love to all.

- Tracy Hardes

Mrs. King was an incredible person. Growing up as best friends with Jon, I spent most of my summer days and school weekends at the King house. She was like a second mother to me, always filled with love and kindness. My prayers go out to the King family during this time. Isaiah 41:10

We will miss you Dr King! It was such a pleasure being able to work with her and learn from her! She was always so kind and willing to teach. She loved talking about her family and her amazing boys and their achievements. The world has definitely become a better place because of her! She will be truly missed.

- Matt Johns

Sending my deepest sympathies to Reauelle’s family. She was the best doctor I have ever had and I was so sad when she left State College. Her spirit lives on in her boys.

- Megan Evans

Dr. King it was a joy working with you. You're an amazing doctor, person, and will be missed. A hymn came to my mind once I was told of your passing. "God Be with You Till We Meet Again" The second verse stood out to me. God be with you till we meet again. When life's perils thick confound you. Put his arms unfailing round you. God be with you till we meet again. Sending prayers to your family. God be with you till we meet again.

- Holly Mellinger

It is with a profound sense of loss that we mourn Reauelle’s passing. I will remember her passion, humor, honesty, fire and integrity. I will also remember her hair.
She was a champion of many things, but none greater than her boys. It was my honor to be her friend and colleague, and I hope the pain we all feel now will be replaced by memories of everything that was so good about her.

- Tom Cloward

Dr. King and I shared our love of medicine and Big 10 sports. She loved her family and was so proud of her boys and their accomplishments. She was a great friend and colleague. I’m grateful to have known her. I am a better person because of her. She will be missed. All my love to her family

- Scott Schauss

Reauelle, my first friend and forever friend. It all began on Chellwood Place, kicking the can, piling in the Volkswagen bug, pulling each others hair, dance classes, and living in pools. Deep heart cries and prayers to the whole family. She must be dancing with Jesus. She will be so deeply missed.

- Dori

Dr. King will be missed by hundreds and hundreds of people. I have been a patient for 15 years (I think). I truly loved her with all my heart. She always made me feel like I was more important any other patient. I have thought many times how wonderful to be treated by a doctor that has that knack of making her patients that special! I could make a very long list of all of her great qualities. I often told her she is very beautiful, that was inside to the outside!!!
Dr. King talked about her family so loved so much and of course lacrosse. Dr. King was delightful, she knew her business, and got it right every time.
I do want to tell you i send my love to each and everyone of her super fantastic family.

- Lynne Harris

My deepest condolences to the King family. I worked with Dr. King the past few years and was able to see what a great person she was to all she worked with. Patients consistently would inquire about her during her absence over the past several months and you could tell the positive impact she had on them. I know she loved her family and I pray for the Lord's hand to comfort you at this time.

- Richard Smith

I am so grieved by this terrible news .A young Daughter, wife ,mother ,a friend, a doctor and wonderful human being has been taken away at a tender age from all of us . I cannot imagine the loss her family is facing . I last saw her April 21 2001 when she readout a verse from the bible on my daughter Vanita's wedding . Remember the beautiful red curley haired girl .
May her soul rest in eternal peace and may God give the family the strength to bear this unimaginable loss . May God bless
with love Lakshmi

Dear Jeff and family,
It's hard to put into words what Reauelle has meant to us. A rock during the early post-stroke days, she earned the nickname we gave her thanks to an animated movie: "Brave." She was also my physician before she became Skoot's officemate. We are so blessed to have known her and remember fondly her pretty red "sitting shoes" and her confession of talking to the lit up Steelers yard ornament in the office after Skoot's stroke. Jeff, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

- Sue and Skooter Van Kirk

Jamie and I are so very sorry to hear of the loss of Reauelle. There are no words one can give but to say she positively impacted so many. If you were lucky enough to spend time at the Kingdom it was clear she was a de facto big sister to those that needed one. Sending love and our deepest sympathies.

- Erin and Jamie Moses

- Jamie Oyler

I enjoyed a professional relationship with Dr. King and I am devastated to hear the news. She will be missed greatly and a friend and colleague.

- Jake Veigel, MD

When I met Dr. King the first time, I had just watched the Disney movie "Brave." Dr. King and her vibrant red hair (and her vibrant personality) seemed to be "Merida" personified! I absolutely loved visiting with her and immediately recognized her love and commitment to her family. coincidentally our very first conversation was about her children. I am so sorry learning of her passing but I am grateful to have known her. Wishing your family sincere love and condolences.

I only knew Dr: King as her patient, but she will be missed.

When I first walked into her office I had no idea how much my quality of life would improve. Not only was she deeply knowledgeable about narcolepsy (a surprisingly rare thing), she made me feel seen, understood, and cared for. My friends and family all knew that she was my favorite specialist.

My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

- Logan Jones

Last I spoke with Dr. Ann Reauelle King, she respected me, and listened with genuine compassion. I appreciate her time on my behalf. I'll always remember her, and the way she flipped her hair while we collaborated about my health and life. THANK YOU DEEPLY, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm honored to have known her.

- Megan Stott

Hey Reauelle❣️ Just saying hi and miss you!

- Michelle V

Sending sincere and heart felt condolences. Dr King was my sleep doctor, and when I met her we immediately realized we were both from New York State. Making us fellow New Yorkers, we liked that. She was an amazing, gifted doctor of whom I trusted immensely. I’m so sorry for her family. May you all rest in Gods peace.

- Joanne Smith

I just found out this morning about the passing of Dr. King. She was an amazing soul and I am sorry for your loss. I dread moving forward without her in my life, so I can imagine how the rest of her patients feel. Please accept my condolences and know that you and your family are in my prayers.

- Jackie Rasband

Dr. King helped me through my sleep disorder for which I hope you will accept my sincere appreciation on her behalf. Heart felt condolences to you, the family and friends.
