Louise Joyce Knight, age 94, Lawton, died Thursday, March 16, 2017 at her residence.  She was born June 8, 1922 in Cordell, Oklahoma to Charles E. and Elwynna Smith.  She grew up in Cordell where she graduated high school.  Louise married L.M. Knight on March 1, 1941 in Oklahoma City.  He preceded her in death on August 31, 2001.

The family moved to Lawton in 1957 and Louise concentrated her efforts on being a wife and mother.  When she was younger, she enjoyed bowling and in later years played bridge and loved playing bingo.  She was a member of Centenary United Methodist Church.

Louise was always very outgoing.  She had a soft spot in her heart for animals and adopted many through the years.  She was also very fashionable which reflected in her appearance and attention to detail.

She is survived by two daughters and sons-in-law, Lisa and Buddy Green, Lawton and Jill and Tim Young, Edmond, Oklahoma; her son, Chris Knight, Lawton & Santa Fe, New Mexico; two grandchildren and their spouses, Shelby and Cody Zimmerman and Taylor and Jayce Green, all of Lawton; four Great Grandchildren, Chandler, Collin and Chayslee Zimmerman and Hollis Green; several nieces and nephews.

Her son, Stephen Knight, three bothers, Audrey Smith, Charles E. Smith, Jr. and Fred Smith, and a sister, Rhea Page, preceded her in death.
