Ernstlee Henshaw Houck, 81, was welcomed into Heaven May 3, 2014.  She was a loving wife, mother, friend, grandmother and great-grandmother, and generous with her time and talents.  She will be remembered with joy by her many loved ones.  

She was born Ernstlee Jane King on August 9, 1932, in San Francisco, to Margaret and Joseph King.  She completed high school in Vallejo and earned her associate degree in liberal arts.
