Kelly Ann King

Kelly Ann King, 54, of Pass Christian, MS. passed away, surrounded by family, on Saturday, April 15, 2023, at Singing River Hospital Gulfport. Kelly was born into a military family in Fort Dix, NJ on February 27, 1969, to Randy and Donna Wilkerson; and later moved to Mississippi where she was raised. A simple woman, Kelly enjoyed sitting or dancing around a bonfire, and fishing on the river. On those beautiful sunny days, Kelly loved being out on the water crabbin’. If you wanted a tray full by the end of the night, Kelly was who you wanted setting the trap; holding the family "record" of cracking them the fastest. Kelly enjoyed cooking for her family, with spaghetti and gumbo being her dishes of expertise. She loved her grandbabies and was excited to welcome the one on the way. Kelly will be immensely missed by all who knew and loved her. She is preceded in death by her father, John Randolph Wilkerson. Left to cherish her memories are her husband, Curtis King; children, Dakota Goldman, Savannah (Austin) Hickman, and Brodi King; her mother, Donna Jean (Stewart) Wilkerson; brother, Chuck Wilkerson; grandbabies, Brendan Ruzicka, Gracelyn Hickman, and one on the way; very best friend, Sandra Moody; along with many friends over the years. The family is honoring Kelly's wishes to be cremated and will be having a memorial visitation on Friday, April 21, 2023, at Trinity Funeral McHenry at 2:00PM. Trinity Funeral Services is honored to serve the King family during this time of need and would ask that you remember them in your thoughts and prayers over the coming days.
