Antoinette Knight

October 14, 1934 - September 6, 2021

Antoinette Theresa Knight, 86, of Concord went to her eternal rest with the Lord on September 6, 2021. She was born on October 14, 1934 in Beacon, NY to the late John and Raffaela Yanarella. She was married to Lloyd Knight, the love of her life, from April 18, 1954 until his promotion to Heaven on April 2, 2019. Antoinette had a long and busy career as a mom of six children and also as a medical office administrator. She and Lloyd and their children lived in NY, VT, VA and NC until their retirement, at which time they relocated to Cape Canaveral, FL, and then ultimately back to Concord, NC to be near many of their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Antoinette is survived by her sons Ken and wife Debi of St. Petersburg, FL, Tom and wife Julie of Lexington, KY and Mike and wife Laura of Cumming, GA; daughters, Susan Guy and husband Joel of Concord, NC, Theresa Chaney and husband Jim of Belmont, NC and Mary Fink and husband Baron of Troutman, NC. She was blessed to have been survived by 20 grandchildren who, so far, have provided her with 30 great-grandchildren (with at least one more on the way). A Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30am on Friday, September 10, at St. Therese Catholic Church in Mooresville, NC. A committal service will occur directly after the Mass at NorthLake Memorial Gardens. Antoinette loved her family and cherished opportunities to have them gather together. She was a devout Catholic who volunteered as a Eucharistic Minister for many years and had a special devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Blessed Mother.
