Obituary for Dorothy Jean Knight

Dorothy Jean  Knight
Dorothy “Jean” Knight peacefully passed away in Knoxville, Tennessee, on
August 14, 2017, at the age of 91 years old. She was born December 17,
1925, in Sharon Grove, Kentucky. She was preceded in death by her father
and mother, Romie and Essie Gant and her loving husband of 65 years,
Claude R. “Rudy” Knight. She is survived by her son Don (Suzanne)
Knight, and daughter Beverley (Rick) Kuhlman, 3 grandchildren, Amy
(Steve, Jr.) Stone, Rick (Jamie) Kuhlman, Hart (Stephanie) Knight and 4
great grandchildren, Caroline Stone, Mary Margaret and Smith Knight, and
Ella Katherine Kuhlman.
She and her husband worked together many years at Draper and Darwin
Store in downtown Franklin. She was a longtime active member of First
United Methodist Church of Franklin, serving as Sunday School
superintendent and education building planning committee for the historic
church.
She will never be replaced in the hearts of her family. Her cheerful sense of
humor was contagious. Through her daily example she taught her family
how to lovingly serve others, following the model of her Lord. No one
could make fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, chocolate pie or cinnamon
rolls like she did. No one could harvest their backyard garden like she did.
No one loved their husband and family more than she did. No one can ever
replace Dorothy Jean Knight.
Funeral services will be held at historic Franklin First United Methodist
Church at 11:00 on Wednesday, August 23, preceded by visitation at 10:00.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the Building Fund of Franklin
First United Methodist Church.
