Monique Michelle Cohn King

Monique Michelle Cohn King of Burlington, North Carolina passed away on Thursday, September 22, 2022 at 41 years old. Monique was born on April 12, 1981 at Castle Air Force Base, outside of Merced, California. Monique’s “launch” coincided with another monumental launch --- the first takeoff of NASA’s Space Shuttle Columbia. Born with a full head of blonde hair, Monique began and ended her life as a petite beauty outside and in. Monique grew up in Fort Walton Beach, Florida with mother, Michelle Marguerite (nee Thompson), father, Martin Scott Cohn and younger sister, Keslea. She had a keen interest in nature and all things critters. Monique was an outstanding artist as well, drawing her first recognizable picture at 18 months old. Growing up in a theatre family, she had the opportunity to share the stage with them. Monique attended Edwins Elementary, Bruner Middle School, where she was on the swim team and Choctawhatchee High School, later continuing her education at Carteret Community College in Morehead City, North Carolina. Monique was physically small but very strong with lots of stamina. She was creative and loved working with her hands. She used that creativity in several careers over the years, including laying flooring and tile, which she enjoyed. Also an incredible cook, she had a natural talent for creating deliciousness without recipes and used this talent working in the restaurant industry. Monique was preceded in death by her father, Martin Scott Cohn. She is survived by son, Anthony Michael Cohn; mother, Michelle Marguerite Rhodes (and dad Wendell Eugene Rhodes) of Clemmons, North Carolina; sister, Keslea Eline Cohn of Greenville, North Carolina; grandfather, Clarence George Thompson of Clemmons, North Carolina as well as many other loved ones who will truly miss her. Funeral services will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1255 Julian Rd, Salisbury, NC 28146 on Saturday, October 1, 2022 at 2:30PM. No visitation will be held but the family is happy to visit with friends after the funeral service. Summersett Funeral Home is serving the King family.
