Carolyn was a lifelong member of Aldersgate United Methodist Church and she enjoyed bowling alongside her husband for many years in a couples bowling league in Toledo. Carolyn made many friends over the years; she had a wonderful spirit and was able to make friends with just about anyone she met. Her family will forever hold onto the memories that were created during the holidays when the family would get together and celebrate. In her spare time she enjoyed being outdoors where she could tend to her vegetable garden that she took much pride in, but most importantly Carolyn cared for her family, she always put their needs before her own.

Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Richard T. "Rick" Knott, Jr. and Michael (Michelle) Knott; twin sister, Evelyn Tilley; brother, Don Pugh; many nieces, nephews and dear family members who were very important to Carolyn. Preceding her in death were her parents and her loving husband, Richard T. "Dick" Knott, Sr.
