Ann Terese Devine-King

Ann Terese Devine-King, RPT, MS, died suddenly on Sep 2, 2017, at her home in Morgantown West Virginia, at the age of 63. She was born on Aug 3, 1954 in Iowa City, Iowa, the youngest daughter of Arthur and Marilyn Devine. Ann was employed as a Physical Therapist at HealthsouthMoutainView Regional Rehab Hospital since its opening in 1991. She attended the University of Vermont, graduating in 1976where she earned her BS in Physical Therapy. She would go on to earn her MS in Exercise Physiology at West VirginiaUniversity. She married Gary King in 1979 in the state of Virginia, and soon moved to the mountain state of West Virginia, where they began their family and careers. Ann had an intense love for the outdoors and was a key figure in the local hiking community and the West Virginia Sierra Club chapter. She was also an active member of the Morgantown Search and Rescue group, and had on severaloccasions helped locate lost people throughout the state. Her love for the outdoors also led her to explore glaciers in New Zealand, repair mountain passes in Patagonia, and hike and camp in numerous national parks such as Zion, Arches, andYosemite. Her caring and passion let Ann be such an incredible friend and mentor to those around her, both during her career as a Physical Therapist and to those she knew socially. Indeed, the impact Ann had on the world and those she met along the way was overwhelmingly positive as she left every place or person she met better after they had met her. She was preceded in death by her parents and her daughter, Colleen Devine-King. She is survived by her husband Gary Devine-King, son MSgt Joshua Devine-King and his wife Malisa, grandson Connor Devine-King, Brother Dr. Bill Devineand his wife Patricia, and Sister Kathy Fishman and her husband Paul.
