Phyllis Jean King, who was born on March 19, 1956, went home to be with the Lord on September 16, 2020. How wonderful to be in Heaven with no more pain, sickness, or tears! Phyllis worked in the restaurant business for many years. She had a heart of gold and as the oldest she took on many roles in the lives of the people she loved – mom, sister, aunt, grandmother, best friend and negotiator. She was known for her quick wit. Even though Phyllis spent her last days in the mountains of North Carolina, she was always proud to be from Miami. She enjoyed ocean fishing with her dad and grew to love seeing dolphins play in the water. Her collection of dolphin figurines were a reminder of days gone by. One of her favorite memories was when she actually was able to swim with Flipper, the dolphin star of a television show. Phyllis is proceeded in death by her mother, Joan K. Wright; her two sisters, Sherrie Campbell and Alyvia Wells; her stepfather, Bobby Wright; and her stepmother, Toni King. She is survived by her father, Charles King of South Carolina; three children, John Atkinson of North Carolina, Charles Atkinson of North Carolina, and Dusty Musser (Tony) of Virginia; and six grandchildren, Kimberly, Anthony, Corey, Kyle, and Trevor Atkinson, and Kayla March. Eleven siblings survive: Debbie Ray (Kerry) and Keith Wright (Rhonda) both of Kentucky; Darcie Hearn, Trina Graham (Stephen), and Tammy Yarbrough (David) all of South Carolina; Patty McCoy (Doug), Teresa Carter (Steve), Bobbie Jean Pate (Mike), Melissa Vandyun (CJ), and Rebecca Sherman (Michael) all of Florida; and Debra Toole (Algernon) of Indiana. She had several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. A special thank you goes to Michelle. The family appreciates the loving care and attention she gave to Phyllis. Phyllis was well loved and will be missed. She is gone from this world but not from our hearts.
