Glynne Knutson Obituary

GLYNNE EDWARD KNUTSON 02/03/1927 - 04/25/2017 On April 25,2017 our loving father, grandfather and brother went to continue his work along side Jehovah. Glynne was born February 3, 1927 in White Salmon Washington to Lloyd and Vivian Knutson. He was the oldest of two boys, his little brother Lloyd followed just a year later. Sadly his mother passed away from complications from child birth. He and Lloyd spent much of their young life with their grandparents until his dad married his step mom, Mabel Knutson. At the young age of 17 he joined the Navy and served aboard the USS Stormmes at Okinawa, surviving a Kamikaze attack. When he returned home he married the love of his life Louella McNutt, July 6, 1946. He became a loving father to two daughters, Catherine born Apirl 13, 1947 and Rae September 22, 1952. In his young years he started working in a sawmill. In 1960 the young family moved to Northern California. He started working for Simpson Timber Company, were he retired from in 1988 when the Arcata Bottoms mill closed. As a young man he found his true calling, sharing the word of the bible as a devoted Jehovah's Wittness. He spent many hours in the field service and studying the bible. Glynne and Louella loved to travel with their grandchildren and great grandchildren later in years. He made sure that his children and grandchildren "could do it themselves" but he would step in when needed. The family would also like to thank all the staff at Granada for taking care of grandpa as if you were your own. Glynne is proceeded in death by his wife of 70 years Louella McNutt Knutson. His parents Lloyd and Vivian Knutson, Mabel Knutson. He is survived by his brother Lloyd Knutson (Ernetta), his daughters Catherine Knutson and Rae Nordby (Doug), his grandchildren Shonua Rhodes, Shaine Clements (Ericka), Chas Rylee, Glynne Savio (Jeremy Duncan) and Michael Metz (Lorraine Stevens) His great grandchildren Magen Gray (Josh), Zackery Frick (Emily Sutter), Bryant and Gabriel Clements, Janiqua Prochko (Kim), Ashia Toews, Ty Toews, Haley and Grayson Rylee, Andrew Jones (Stephanie Marino), Macie Brittain-Chandler(Bradlee), Josh Savio (Rachel Limon), Iszabella Savio, Sierra Metz, Abigail Metz.

Glynne was one of the kindest men I have ever met. He and Louella always had an open house for young ones in the local congregation.Later, he performed my wedding. Sweet brother.

Uncle Glynne was a soft spoken, kind and caring man, there are many wonderful childhood memories of times our families spent together. He was very much loved and will missed terribly.
