Obituary: Henria King

Henria “Zoe” King, 80, of Charlotte, N.C., passed away on April 19, 2024. She was born on April 12, 1944, in New York City.

King is survived by her loving husband of 45 years, Bruce King; daughter, Sarah Silva (Rob): son, Seth King (Nicole); sister, Jill Slavin (Doug); nieces, Kady Slavin (Peter) and Devorah Richards (Stephen); grand-niece, Summer Slavin, and grand-nephews, Max Slavin and James Cartwright and her three cherished grandchildren, Leah, Daniel, and Benjamin. She is predeceased by her father, Sholom Rubinstein, mother, Bess Rubinstein, and brother Michael Rubinstein

King graduated from Adelphi University in New York City. From there she went on to become the Managing Director of Behavioral Systems Inc in Atlanta, Ga.  Zoe then created her own private consulting business which she owned and ran for 15 years. In 2003, Zoe began a new career as a co-owner of a Comfort Keepers franchise which she and Bruce ran together until 2016.

Prior to moving to Charlotte, Zoe was a long-time member of Atlanta’s Etz Chaim synagogue. She found joy in gardening with perennials, needlework, reading and, most of all, her 3 delicious grandchildren.

King will be dearly missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. May she rest in peace.

A graveside service for Henria was held Thursday, April 25, 2024, at Hebrew Cemetery, 1801 Statesville Ave, Charlotte, NC 28206.
