Audrey Jane Knight

November 23, 1937 — May 21, 2018

Audrey Jane Knight, 80, passed away May 21, 2018, at home in Mountain Grove, with family by her side.

She was born November 23, 1937, in Westminster, England, to Thomas and Mabel (Roberts) Hatch. She married the love of her life, Jerry W. Knight, February 9, 1957, in Aschaffenburg, Germany.

Audrey traveled the world with Jerry’s military stations. They retired after being stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado. Audrey lived in Colorado Springs for 45 years before moving to Mountain Grove to stay with her daughter. She was the CEO of Jerry’s Roofing Company in Colorado before having to shut down.

She loved life. She taught her family to look at the glass half-full and that life is just a big journey, with a few bumps in the road. Audrey would give the clothes off her back, if she could. Audrey was always there for whom ever needed her. She never met a stranger. Everyone became part of her family or a lifelong friend. She was an active member in Colorado of Al-Anon. She has helped people in their recovery process or to find recovery.

Audrey is survived by her son, David L. (Nettie) Knight of South Carolina, her son, Kenneth J. Knight of Florida, her daughter, Debbie (Pete) Knight-Villa of Colorado Springs, Colorado, her daughter, Kelley (Gerald) Friend of Mountain Grove, Missouri, fifteen grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.

A Celebration of Life event will be held at her daughter’s house in Mountain Grove on June 23, 2018.
