Mary Ann Davis McKnight
Mary Ann attended the College of Charleston and ran a small business in Charleston following graduation. She moved to Atlanta for better career opportunities and eventually landed a job with Sandy Springs Toyota, where she met Tom. They were married in Hawaii in 2004 and welcomed Bailey’s little sister, Makenzie in 2006. Mary Ann later began her career as a home mortgage consultant. She took great pride in her job and enjoyed helping families make their dream home a reality. She loved spending time with her family and vacationing at the beach.
In addition to her husband and mother, Mary Ann is survived by the light of her life, her 16 year old daughter, Makenzie McKnight; Tom’s daughter, whom Mary Ann loved as her own, Bailey McKnight Blanton (Dillard) of Scottsdale, AZ; step-sons Ryan and Sean McKnight; three siblings, Donna Fish (James) of Simpsonville, SC, Jimmy Davis (Lou Ellen) of Taylors, SC, and Kathy Goddard (Chuck) of Marietta, GA; and numerous extended family members.
A Memorial Service will be held at Lakeside Funeral Home, 121 Claremore Drive, Woodstock, GA on Saturday, February 4, 2023, beginning at 12:00 pm. The family will receive friends following the service. Dress casual encouraged.

My thoughts and prayers are with your families.
May God hold your family in his hands and be with you through this difficult time.
Makenzie, your mom was the best of women. On the outside, gorgeous of course, lithe and strong, nutrition-aware before her time, with sparkling eyes, the voice of an angel, and the best hair on Earth. But on the inside…loyal, lighthearted, thoughtful, mischievous, unvarnished, keenly able suss out nonsense, and with the kindest word, laughing or straightforward, always just right. I cherished my Nov 2 sister, and pray as she lives in you that you are led back to her in your own friendships.
