Mrs. Knight died on August 2, 2025. She was born on July 11, 1961. 

Mrs. Knight had a deep love for Jesus. She found happiness by rescuing stray animals, and cherished every plant she tended to in her garden. She was a great cook and everyone loved her dishes. She loved gathering around the table with family and friends and created memories filled with laughter, stories, and the shared delight of good food. Some of her happiest days were spent fishing and going to the beach.

Her greatest pride came from her family. She was married to the love of her life, Dan Knight, and they spent 37 beautiful years making a life together. She treasured her children and grandchildren above all else. They were her legacy, a continuation of the love she poured into this world. 

She is survived by her husband, Dan Knight; mother, Janice Vaillencourt; children, Micah and Tricia Staple, of Emory, Cortney and Christopher Wells, of Emory, Cathy and Ryan Marple, and Mitchell and Bashia Knight; grandchildren, Wesley, Jacob, Terell, Lexus, Lillian, Riley, Cylas, Alley, Connor, Jordan, and Murphy; great-grandchildren, Bre, and Kinsley; siblings, James Vaillencourt, Sarita Stuart, Sonja Joiner, of Emory, and Jovanaha Vaillencourt.

She was preceded in death by her father, James Vaillencourt Sr. 

A visitation will be held one hour prior to the service at 10:00 a.m., at Wilson-Orwosky Funeral Home.
