Donna Rae Knoblock

Donna Rae "Allen" Knoblock, age 77, of Linden, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on January 22, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on August 18, 1948, and was the daughter of the late Walter and Margaret Allen.

Donna dedicated many years of her life to her work at Johnson Controls/Fisher Company, where she formed many lifelong friendships. She also served the Perry County School System in several roles, including as a teaching assistant and as the daytime custodian at the high school.

Outside of work, Donna found joy in spending time with her family and friends. She loved cheering on the Tennessee Volunteers, watching all sports, taking family trips with the girls, collecting rocks on the beach, bear watching in the mountains, making crafts and painting, feeding her birds, and watching Hallmark movies year-round.

Donna was a devoted and faithful Christian who dearly loved her church family. She enjoyed attending the ladies' class at Linden Church of Christ and living her life guided by faith.

Donna is survived by her children, Shelley Bowers and Scott Knoblock (Sandra); her grandchildren, Carrie Rogers, Kristen Gentry (Harley), Allison Breezee (Cameron), Dallon Knoblock (Alyssa), Sidney Knoblock (Jacob), and Jana Rogers (Alex); her great-grandchildren, Aliyah, Madi, Payton, Stella, Brooklyn, and Phoebe; her sister, Carol Couch; her nieces and nephews, Pamela Thurston (Jim), Ashley Deering, Joanni Long (Chuck), Ron A. Couch (Linda), and Teddy Allen (Lisa); and several extended family members and friends. She is also survived by her loyal dog, Summitt. She is preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Ted Allen; and her brother-in-law, Ron G. Couch.

Donna will be remembered as the best Mom and Nana. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished for her loving heart, patient spirit, and strength.

Funeral services will be announced at a later time due to weather.
