Tolrice N. Knight, of Corapeake, North Carolina, entered the Golden Gates of Heaven on October 13th, 2020, at Citadel Nursing Home in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. He was preceded in death by his parents James Lee and Marjorie Knight, and sister Jacqueline Knight. He was a member of Zion Tabernacle Baptist Church. He received his education in the public schools of Gates County, NC, and graduated in 1979. He was a kind and generous person, a hard worker, and loved riding his moped until his health started to decline. He always had a big smile on his face and a hearty laugh when his family visited him in the nursing home, where he resided for many years. Left to cherish his memory are his sisters Solonia Knight, Evelyn Reid (Kent), Frances Stewart (Kevin), Eartha Parker (Randolph), Schnell Jefferson (Dwight), and brother Earkaus Phelps. Along with them, he leaves behind three uncles, Daniel Knight (Brenda), Rufus Knight, and Robert Knight, three aunts Joyce Brinkley, Nettie Knight, and Glendale Boone (Murray) and a host of nephews, nieces, relatives, family, and friends.
