Angela Kay Rhyne

Angela Kay Rhyne, age 44 passed away Friday, May 26, 2017 at her residence. Angela devoted 25 years of her life to Tiny Tot Child Development Center. She started as a teacher, then became the Assistant Director. Angela did not have children of her own but she touched many children's lives throughout the years. Her smile, wisdom, kind words and the love she had not only for the children, but also for the parents and her co-workers, will be greatly missed.

Angela also held a large place in her heart for all animals. She not only had love for her own pets but for all of God's creatures.

Besides the love of her family, friends, children and animals Angela may have been the biggest Duke fan you would have ever met. They would have never lost a game if they could have heard her yelling at them through the television.

"E-E" will never be replaced in our hearts!

Angela was the daughter of George Edward “Eddie” Rhyne, Jr and Patricia Ann “Pat” Henley Rhyne of Mount Holly, North Carolina. Angela will always be “Our Baby”. She is also survived by her paternal grandfather George Edward Rhyne.
