Melissa Jane King Gregg, age 60, of Star City passed away Monday, June 8, 2020 at Ruby Memorial Hospital. She was born March 24, 1960 at the USAF Base in Massachusetts, a daughter of Norman King and Gerri Gilleland King of Wilson, NC. Melissa was a 1978 graduate of Laurel Highlands High School where she was a member of the Color Guard. She worked for HKBT Surgical for 24 years and concluded her working career for Mon Health as a Coder Abstractor. She loved spending every minute with her grandson Lantz, and spending time with her family. Melissa also enjoyed vacationing at the beach and the Smokey Mountains. While she was always available to do any type of fishing or watch the pirates play, she was just as content to sit in her rocking chair on her porch with a good cup of coffee. Melissa was a loving daughter, wife and grandmother. She was loved by many and will be deeply missed. In addition to her parents, Melissa is survived by husband of twelve years and constant companion of 27 years, Gary Gregg, her son Joshua Rhodes and fiancée Shasta Bell and grandson Lantz Rhodes of Morgantown, brother David King and nephew Chase King from Manteo, NC, sister Joyce Essick from Outer Banks, NC, niece Lauren Cannon, husband Bryan and son Riley from Wilson, NC, nephew Jeremy Essick from the Outer Banks, NC, sister-in-law, Kathy Gregg Billoti from Morgantown and her family Matthew Billoti, Sarah Billotti, and Mark Billotti all from Morgantown, sister-in-law, Sandy Gregg Newhouse and husband Mark Newhouse from Morgantown and her family Jeffery Gregg and Heather Gregg, and the Gregg family of Joan, Robin, Todd, all from Morgantown.
