Mrs Bonnie Knoll's Obituary
Beth Knoll, a beacon of love and creativity, passed away surrounded by the warmth of her family's affection. Her vibrant spirit and nurturing presence will be profoundly missed by all who were fortunate to have known her. Beth's life was a testament to her unyielding devotion to her family, her ingenious flair, and the thoughtful care she extended to everyone she encountered.
Born into the loving arms of Alton Perry McLendon and Annie Lou McLendon, Beth's early years were spent in Birmingham, AL and Atlanta, GA. At the age of thirteen she moved to Jackson’s Gap, AL, where she attended Dadeville High School. Her formative years were filled with adventure and travel, which laid the foundation for her lifelong passions and her remarkable ability to turn the mundane into the extraordinary.
Beth’s professional journey was marked by her entrepreneurial spirit and an impressive tenure of over two decades in the food and beverage industry. Her later years were spent sharing her extensive knowledge as a flooring specialist at Home Depot, where she is admired for her intelligence and meticulous work ethic. Beth will be remembered as a resourceful and diligent professional, always ready with a thoughtful solution or a kind word.
Her heart, however, truly belonged to her family. Beth's love for her husband, Philip Knoll, was the cornerstone of a home filled with laughter, love, and the aroma of her amazing cooking. She was a cherished mother to Carrie and her husband, Conrad Eckhardt, Kim and her husband, Shane Morse, and stepdaughter Karley Coyne. Her role as a grandmother was one, she embraced with boundless enthusiasm, as she was blessed with the joy of her nineteen grandchildren, Caden Dillard, Blair Morse, Haley, Serenity, Trinity, Sean, Grace, Kennedy, Harley, Dawson, Jay, Jaxon, Riggs, Aubree, Hayden, Leo, Lucas, Levi, and Ledger Coyne.
Beth's siblings, Alton and his wife, Jioleta McLendon and Ginger and her husband, Rudy Bernard, fondly recall their sister's loving nature and the thoughtful moments they shared. She was preceded in death by her father Alton Perry McLendon, Mother Annie Lou McLendon, stepson Justin Knoll, sister Peggy Diane McCrary, and brother Tim McLendon, who have now welcomed her into the Golden Gates of Heaven.
Beyond her family, Beth's creativity was a force of nature. She was a familiar face at arts and crafts shows, where her unique creations captured the imagination of many. Her love for gardening and growing flowers are evident in the vibrant blooms that adorn her home. Beth's kitchen is the heart of her home, a place where she expressed her love through the dishes, she expertly prepared.
Those who know Beth remember her as a loving, intelligent, and thoughtful woman, whose presence was a comfort and whose legacy is a tapestry of the lives she touched. Her absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, but the memories she created will continue to inspire and guide her family and friends.
As we say goodbye to Beth Knoll, we celebrate a life richly lived and deeply cherished. Her spirit will forever be woven into the fabric of the lives she touched, and her legacy will endure through the love and beauty she brought into the world. Rest in peace, dear Beth, wife, mother, sister, and friend, knowing that your love continues to be in the hearts of those you leave behind. Until we see you again.
