Patsy Williams McKnight, 89, was born in Union County on Nov. 26, 1928 to the late Charles Cleet and Cecile Mason Williams. Patsy left this worldly home on Sept. 22, 2018 to join her Heavenly Family.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband of 55 years, Dewey James McKnight; and her brother, Rodney Williams.

She was a member of Caledonia Baptist Church, where she served on numerous committees, and a charter member of Harmony Baptist Church.
Patsy and husband, Dewey, were avid campers, touring Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas and had a “Camp” home on Lake Claiborne.
She was known for her homemade biscuits which she always mixed up while whistling. She made beautiful afghans, crocheted scarves and Christmas ornaments for many family members and friends.
