Bonnie Knight Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 14, 2014.

Calling hours for Bonnie L. Knight, age 73 of Colton and formerly of Lisbon will be held on Thursday (December 18, 2014) from 11:00am-2:00pm at the Fox & Murray Funeral Home. Pastors Patrick Severson and Steven Rockhill will officiate the funeral immediately following calling hours. Burial will follow the service at Flackville Cemetery in Lisbon.

Bonnie was devoted to Eddie and their three sons, Stephen (Lianne), Bradley (Melanie) and Brent (Deborah). She opened her heart to her daughters-in-law and embraced her grandchildren (Hannah, Brooke, Daniel, Sierra, Tess, Maia, Sadie Rose, Ethan, and Aiden Knight) with eager arms and boundless love. Bonnie's ability to soothe a crying baby was unmatched.

Bonnie was born on October 5, 1941, the only child of the late Cecil and Viola Fowler. Raised, and educated in Gouverneur, NY, she attended beauty school in Rochester, NY after high school.

Bonnie came to work as a hair stylist for Julia and Bill Ellis in Ogdensburg, NY. It was there that a co-worker and friend, Phyllis Wood, introduced Bonnie to Edward Knight of Lisbon, NY. Within four months, the young couple was wed (December 10, 1960) and they enjoyed a marriage that spanned 54 years. Bonnie and Eddie celebrated their wedding anniversary just days ago.

Over the years, Bonnie's activities and interests evolved into entertaining extended family and friends on Higley Flow, horse-back riding, quilting, square dancing with Eddie, regular attendance at her grandchildren's various events, and travel throughout the United States. Bonnie's green thumb, cooking, and, most especially, her pie-baking skills were renowned.

Bonnie devoted herself to her church (the Grace Presbyterian in Lisbon, NY), church family, friends, community members, extended family, her immediate family and, especially, to her dear Edward. She will be sorely missed.

Memorial contributions can be made to The Grace Presbyterian Church, 6675 County Road 10, Lisbon, NY 13658; Reformed Presbyterian Church of Lisbon, 291 Cemetery Road, Ogdensburg, NY 13669; Lisbon Volunteer Fire Dept, County Route 10 , Lisbon, NY 13658.

I have been reading so many tributes to Bonnie. The number of times that her beautiful smile was mentioned said so much about her, from a young girl to a lovely woman. I graduated with Bonnie from Gouverneur High School in 1959 and have always enjoyed seeing her at our reunions, which have been annual in the past few years. Visiting with her and now reading tributes to her just reinforces that she was the same throughout her adult years as she was as a teenager. Loving, giving, helpful, and caring are just a few words to describe Bonnie. How she will be missed by our class! My deepest sympathy is sent to Eddie and her family. Know always that many loved her and will always have beautiful memories of Bonnie!

A wonderful lady has passed away today
My heart is filled with so much pain
But happiness is what shall remain

She's with our lord we all know that's true
If you don't believe it, I feel sorry for you
Because she is, that's where she will always live

We need to be happy, even tho we're all so sad
Good times to remember, all the good times we've had
Her love will carry on for generations to come
Don't forget that simple truth, for how could it not

You've seen how she's loved you and I
Unconditional, with no prejudices in her eye
That woman was a saint
And I'll believe that til the day I die
But please just remember, today is hello, not goodbye

December 17, 2014

Tyler Knight

The river bends but it never ends my friends
Rocky roads are hard to follow
But the strong endure the pain of mountains
God builds his children
Through pain we see love
Blinded by our own inhibitions
Then a moment makes u see what means the most
Love will always accompany sorrow
For without sorrow, how would we not know love?
Just remember though, The Lord is always above
