Mrs Knight was an amazing teacher at McLaughlin Elementary School. Both of my daughters, Nikki Walden Clark and Meridith Walden, loved Mrs Knight and both followed in her footsteps as teachers. So sorry for your loss.

Helen helped make me the teacher I am today. I loved teaching with her when I was a baby teacher in 1994. Prayers for her family. Helen, you will be missed!
