Ms. Lenora Blackmon Knight was born to Robert and Edna Blackmon. She was one of fifteen children. Fourteen siblings preceded her in death. She was so proud of her three daughters Gwendolyn (Stephen) Galloway, Helen (James) Allen and Janice Marie Anderson McGraw (preceded her in death). Her family is still growing including seven grand children, fourteen great grand children and nine great- great grand children. She will be remembered by a host of relatives and friends. Lenora was so special to (Mae-Mae) Mary McCain, Joan Lee Germany, Louise Johnson, Betty Robinson and many others. Lenora left a fine legacy for everyone that knew her. She would say “Do things right or don’t do it at all.” She taught her daughters to be respectful in order to get respect. We will always remember her saying pretty is what pretty does. She was Mother or Granny to most. She enjoyed cooking and inviting people over to enjoy a meal. She made the best fried fish, dinner fries, and fried green tomatoes. There were many requests for her cabbage, greens, hot water cornbread and sweet tea. Of course shelling peas was a family affair. There was a lot of history on the garage walls at Granny’s house. Her grand children enjoyed her late night talks. She always put her sons-in-law to work cutting the yard, building something, moving furniture or whatever she could think of on any given day. Mother was smiling most of the time and never complained of feeling bad. She would lovingly give whatever she had to someone in need. She would tell us “You never know who may have to help you.” She had a genuine caring spirit. Be good to yourself and treat others as you want to be treated. We will miss her loving kind and caring spirit.
