Julia Delores (Pearson) Knight

Julia Delores Knight, of Mortons Gap, KY, entered into eternal rest on March 10, 2025, at the age of 96. 

She was born in White Plains, KY on May 18, 1928 to the late Clyde Henry Pearson and Mary Holland.

A devoted woman of God, she lived a life filled with faith, love, and grace, touching the hearts of all who knew her. She was the oldest living member of the Mortons Gap Christian Church.  She had attended this church for over seventy years. She continued to attend church regularly until a year ago when her health would no longer allow her to attend.

Julia was a homemaker and cherished her family deeply, finding joy in their company and offering them unwavering love and support.  Her warmth, kindness, and sweet spirit made her a beacon of light in the lives of those around her.

Her presence will be greatly missed, but her love and faith will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and friends. While we grieve her passing, we also celebrate the incredible life she lived and take comfort in knowing she is now at peace in the arms of her Savior,

Julia would want everyone to make the most important decision of their lives by accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior.
