Sandra J. King, 83, of Holliston, passed away on Friday, July 4, 2025. Born in Readsboro, Vermont, she was the daughter of the late Mildred (Tanner) and George F. Jillson. She was the wife of 59 years to Alan B. King, who passed away in September.
Sandy worked as an Information Technology (IT) & Data Management instructor. She was the founder of Massachusetts’s first Professional Association for Technology and Data Processing. She served on the board for several years as President, Vice President, and Treasurer. She also helped found and co-sponsor the annual Information Technology Trainers’ Conference (ITTC) held in Newport, RI, where over 300 IT professionals from NE attended. Sandy was very proud of her beautiful family. She often talked to her friends about her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was also proud of her infamous Christmas cookie swaps, and she made a mean meat pie and the very best French Silk pie.
Sandy is survived by two children, Jenifer Brennan of Pepperell, MA, and Parrish King, of Oxford, MA; her brother, Rick King, five grandchildren, Kyra and Cameron Thompson and Owen, Christian and Ryan Murphy; and six great-grandchildren, Keagan, Madison, Cameron, Anna, Ian and Kaidan Murphy. She is predeceased by six siblings.
