She was born in Richlands, Va., and was the daughter of Christella Hess Knuckles and the late Dewey Rayborn Knuckles. She was a graduate of the 1994 Class of Richlands High School and was a very artful person and crayons came to life when she used them, colors were infused to bring out the beauty of a picture like never before. Her inner intelligence showed in her love for word puzzles, card games and board games, she could play a mean game of monopoly. Teddy bears were her passion, any and all kinds, her eyes could see into your soul and through her eyes you could see a heart full of love. A gift of her kind only comes from God and her unrelenting faith in God touched many hearts. Those who remain to carry on her spirit are: her mother, Christella Knuckles of Raven, VA; her sister, Lori Jane "Sudie" Knuckles of Raven, VA; her brothers: Dewey "Dupy" Rayborn Knuckles III and wife, Karen, of North Dakota, Johnny Wayne Knuckles of Mt. Airy, NC, Jody Lee Knuckles of Raven, VA; several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews survive her along with her special friend Betty Boyd and a host of many more friends.
