Truly Blessed was anyone who had the chance to meet this lovely Angle. As a child I always felt safe when crossing the street with Mrs. Wilma around.

God bless the family! Mrs. Wilma was one of a kind. She always had some "exciting vocabulary" to share anyone she came in contact with.

Wilma was a kind and thoughtful sister-in-law to me. When she called me, she always asked me how I was doing and if I needed anything. I really appreciated her for that. She also never failed to ask me about how my sons and my brother and his wife were doing. She will be missed. My family and I send our condolences to the Knight family.

Mrs. Wilma Knight made sure that my son, Derek, safely crossed the street when he was a student at North Elementary. She was the crossing guard at Constitution Park. I will never forget her kindness and her genuine concern for Derek. I thanked her personally several times. I want her family to know what a loving and caring person she was. May you find comfort knowing that others loved and appreciated her as you adjust to life without her.
