Life Reflections
Armentie King was born to Robert Baptist Sr and Arerevure Baptist on June 5, 1935, in Horn Lake Mississippi. She accepted Christ at New Hope Baptist Church lead by Reverend Gray. She moved to Memphis and met the love of her life, James King, and they were united in Holy Matrimony. They shared a loving marriage for many years until James King preceded her in death in 1995.
She was a faithful member of Saint John Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend L. D. McGhee, Sr. She enjoyed serving her church as a Sunday School teacher and member of the choir. In 1987, she was awarded a certificate of appreciation by Reverend McGhee for her dedication as a Sunday School teacher.
Her career was that of a seamstress at Memphis Furniture company where she retired after a long career there. She also provided home care for a friend she affectionately referred to as “Trudy” for many years. “Trudy” and her family treated Armentie as if she was truly a part of their family. “Trudy’s” family celebrated Armentie’s birthdays and enjoyed various other holidays together. They were very generous and caring towards Armentie for many years.
Armentie departed this life on November 25, 2022. She was preceded in death by her husband, James King; three brothers: George, Robert and M. C. Baptist; and three sisters: Willie C., Tilda Mae Price and Evonia Smith.
To cherish her memory, she leaves two sisters: Rosie Irving and Samella Baptist; a brother-in-law, Reverend Willie Smith; and a host of nephews, nieces family and friends.

Gone...but Not Forgotten
Don’t think of me as gone away! My journey’s just begun! Life holds so many facets. This earth is only one. Just think of me as resting, from the sorrows and the tears In a place of warmth and comfort...where there are no days and years.
Think how I must be wishing that you could know today How nothing but our sadness can really pass away.
And think of me as living in the hearts of those I’ve touched For nothing loved is ever lost...and I was loved so much!
