of Mountain Home, AR
December 7, 1940 - December 24, 2024
Mrs. Judith Ann Knight, 84, of Mountain Home, Arkansas passed away peacefully on December 24, 2024. Born on December 7, 1940 in Baxter County, Arkansas, Judith was the cherished daughter of Thomas and Versel Vancil.
Judith's life was a testament to the love and joy she found in the simple pleasures of life. She deeply treasured spending time with her family, finding delight in playing bingo and immersing herself in various crafting projects. Her heart was equally warmed by the friendships she cultivated over the years, both new and old.
Preceding Judith in death were her beloved parents; her devoted husband, Claudie Knight; her brother, Jerry Vancil and her sister, Joy (Vancil) Perna. She leaves behind her loving daughter and son-in-law, Debra and Bob Wortman; her dear sister, Janette (Vancil) Pilgrim and a host of cherished nieces and nephews who will carry her memory in their hearts.
In honor of Judith's generous spirit, the family kindly requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the North Central Arkansas Food Bank.
Judith's legacy of love, kindness and community spirit will forever be remembered and cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

So hard to put into words my feelings when I read this today. Not only was Judy my best friend for over 50 years but we will always treasure our memories of wonderful times shared with Judy and Claudie; all the card games, vacations we enjoyed together, our standing Friday night dinners, and so many special times come to mind.
SORRY TO HEAR THAT JUDY passed. We were in school together at Cotter. She was a nice classmate throughout high school. Many good memories. May God give you some comfort in time of loss.
