Eva Kornelia (Davis) Knight, 97, was born January 28, 1916 to Perry Finley and Nellie Emily (Parks) Davis. She was most commonly known to many family and friends as "Nanny". She was born and raised in St. Clair County, Missouri. She married Ralph Albert Knight on October 26, 1935 and to this union, two children were born, Nathalie Ann Schooley and Jack Albert Knight.
Eva was a member of the First Christian Church and the Rebekah Lodge in Appleton City, Missouri. Her life revolved around caring for her family and gardening. She believed in a hard day's work and no one ever left her house hungry. Entertaining family and friends and playing marbles on Saturday night were common occurrences.
