LAIN, Mabel Nadine KnightWas born September 16, 1919 to John William Knight and Donnie Thompson Knight. At the tender age of 11, Mabel's mother passed away. As a preteen she dedicated her life to serving others and accepting all things with grace and goodness. She gave of herself selflessly as she helped raise her two younger brothers, J.L. Knight and Coy Freeman Knight. Through loving one another deeply and working together, her family survived the Great Depression. During World War II, Mabel served her country by working in a local aircraft factory taking on the life of Rosie the Riveter. When Cecil E. Lain, returned from the war, he married his sweetheart and true love of his life. Together they had three children. As a loving, dedicated wife and mother, Mabel continued to share her love of helping others as she faithfully served God through Forest Grove UMC. Her servant spirit led her to join the Eastern Star to reach beyond her local community. Her passion for learning was strengthened through her involvement in the local chapter of the Home Demonstration Club through the County Agricultural Services.
