Sylvia Ann Knight, age 83 of Brownsville, passed peacefully away with her family by her side on Tuesday, August 1, 2017.
Born June 3, 1934, in Fallowfield Township, she was the daughter of the late Richard and Mary Ona Brown Jeffreys.
A resident of Brownsville for the past five years, Mrs. Knight was a member of the Methodist Church of California, a graduate of Connellsville Area High School in 1952 and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star.
Sylvia had an interesting work journey. She started as a sales clerk for McCrory's in Connellsville, where she met the love of her life. She later was a sales clerk for Troutman' s and the Health Mart in Connellsville, and she ended her journey at Rockville International in Uniontown.
After retirement, she and Harold began the second part of their life: A move to Lake Point Village in Lakeland, Fla., where they met their two best friends, Mitzi and Leonard.
The four of them, through Bright and Shiny Tours, scheduled outings for the residents of Lake Point Village. Together, they explored the Caribbean Islands, embarking on 18 different cruises. She and Harold moved back to the area five years ago to be close to their family.
She spent her days watching her two grandpups, enjoying her family, and talking with her friends at the Center in the Woods and the Oaks, where she resided until her passing.
She will be sadly missed by her family and many friends.
She is survived by her husband, Harold Knight, to whom she was married 64 years; daughter, Dorothy Knight of Brownsville; son and daughter in-law, Jeffrey and Donna Knight of Etters; grandson, Ryan Knight and wife Nicole of Perryopolis; and pets, Missy and BuckE.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Norman Jeffreys.
