Margery Ann Knight

Margery Ann Knight, a beacon of unwavering love and gentle kindness, left this world to join her beloved husband in eternal rest on August 8, 2025, in Dothan, Alabama. Born in the serene town of Bell, Missouri, on January 13, 1941, Margery's life was a testament to the power of love, dedication, and selflessness.

Margery's early years in Missouri shaped her into the nurturing and caring person everyone came to adore. After graduating from high school, she married the love of her life, James A. Knight, and embarked on a journey that would see her become the cornerstone of a family that cherished her deeply. Margery's heart was always with her family, and she was the beloved matriarch to her son, Steve Allen Knight, and daughter, Kelly Ann (Robert Lee Hughes, II) Hughes. The joy of her life was further multiplied by her grandchildren, Elizabeth Ann (Christian) McGowan, Robert Lee "Trey" (Nikki) Hughes III, and Alex (Cody) Cary, as well as her treasured great-grandchildren, Cooper McGowan, Mikayla McGowan, Bobby Gene Hughes, Abbi Cary, Alli Cary, Aubrey Cary, and Autumn Cary.

Margery's compassion extended beyond her family to her sister, Milly Dressing, who, along with the rest of the family, feels the void left by Margery's departure. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ray and Ella Garstang, and by her loving husband of 59 years, James A. Knight, with whom she now shares a heavenly abode.

As a supportive military wife, Margery's strength and adaptability were the family's backbone during numerous relocations. Her professional life was marked by 20 years of dedicated service at Pea River Electric in Ozark, Alabama, where her hardworking and understanding nature made her a cherished colleague until her well-deserved retirement.

Margery's interests reflected her loving spirit. An avid animal lover, she found companionship and joy in her dogs and horses. Her nurturing touch was also evident in her favorite hobby of taking care of her horses. Moreover, her musical talent shone through when she played the piano, filling the room with warmth and her gentle presence.

Those who knew Margery will remember her as loving, gentle, and selfless—words that only begin to capture the essence of a woman who gave so much and asked for so little in return. Her legacy of love and kindness will continue to resonate through the lives she touched.

A graveside will be held at 2 pm on Sunday, August 10, 2025, at Sunset Memorial Park with Rev. Charles Goldsmith officiating. The family will receive friends at Sunset Funeral Home on Sunday from 1-2 pm, where they will share memories and honor the remarkable life of Margery Ann Knight.

Margery's departure is not an end, but a continuation of love that transcends physical boundaries. Her memory will be cherished, her lessons will be followed, and her love will forever be the guiding light for her family and friends.
