RANDALL LEE KNIGHT

Nov. 30, 1953-April 5, 2026

Funeral services for Randall "Randy" Lee Knight, 72, will be conducted 
on a future date to be announced by family members.

He didn't just listen to music, he lived it with every breath. On April 
5, 2026 the melody of his life came to its finale when he passed away 
unexpectedly surrounded by those he loved. He left behind a rhapsodic 
symphony of memories and love.

He struck the first chord in the song of his life on Nov. 30, 1953 to 
proud vivacious parents Robert Knight and Doreen Burnside-Knight. Born 
to a church going, musical family with four brothers, he spent his youth 
savoring music while surfing at the beach.

After graduation, he served in the Air Force during the Vietnam Era and 
attended college. Once his duty was complete, he began working on the 
stage crew with the likes of George Carlin and Cheech and Chong. He was 
a favored bartender at Shire Pub in Sacramento, Calif., and dancing and 
singing with visiting bands. After starting his family, he worked for 
Norco Foundry until his retirement.

The chorus of his life hit its crescendo on July 14, 2001 when he 
married his childhood love, Wanda Huff, to whom he loved and cherished 
the rest of his day.

He is survived by his loving wife, Wanda Knight; his children and their 
spouses, Dwayne Dozier, Randy and Lonna Dozier, Chris and Kyla Dozier, 
Megan and James Knight-Kerns, Melissa and Chase Deuschle (Knight), and 
Shari and Billy Wright; his brothers, Robert Morris, Rick Knight and 
Scott Knight; and his grandchildren, Hailey Buchanan, Everly Dozier, 
Addison Dozier, Hazel Dozier, Tanner Dozier and Layla Wright.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Knight and Doreen 
Burnside-Knight.

SARAH CATHERINE HARVILLE

March 21, 1945

Funeral services for Sarah Catherine Harville were conducted on 
Saturday, April 11, 2026 from the chapel of Franklin Funeral Home in 
Meadville, with Rev. Leon Wallace and Rev. Megan Reed officiating.

Interment followed at Midway Cemetery.

Born in Georgiana, Ala., on March 21, 1945 to Luther and Lelia Harville, 
she was one of three children. She began her career as an Operating Room 
Technologist and then moved on to being an Engineer for Parker Hannifin. 
An avid sportsman, her motto was always "I can fix it!"

She was loved by her nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, 
her church, family, her friends and her neighbors. Although born in 
Alabama, she always felt like a true Mississippian.

She was the best friend of Genette Hunt, they were companions for more 
than 50 years. You didn't see one without the other. They made the dream 
of Sage Farms a reality. So many close friends such as William and Edna, 
Barbara and Marty and so many others enriched Sarah's life as much as 
she enriched theirs.

Sarah supported and protected her life church in the wildwood — Mt. 
Olive Methodist Church. As this world got scarier, she provided safety 
measures for all to feel welcome and secure. She will certainly be 
missed here on this earth, but we know she is with our Lord and Savior 
and we will all be together again soon.

She is survived by her beloved family members, Randy and Kim Harvill, 
her favorite nephew and his wife; Shelby Harvill, her sister-in-law; 
great-nieces and great-nephews, Britt and Dan Kidd and Justin Harvill; 
her great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews, Evie, Isabel and Lottie. 
She made sure each of them had their own pink B.B. gun as their first 
gift from Aunt Sarah. There were a host of other cousins.

Pallbearers were Jamie Jackson, Michael Corban, Ken Brown, Danny 
Oglestby, Tony Smith and Pat Larkin. Honorary pallbearers were Randy 
Harville, Justin Harvill and Karen Touchstone.

Memorials can be given to Mt. Olive Methodist Church, the Gideons or 
your favorite charity.
