Obituary of Rosie Margaret Roberts Knight

Rosie Margaret Roberts Knight (known as Margaret) died at St. Lukes Hospital in Meridian, Idaho on September 6, 2018 after a long battle with diabetes. She was born to Gladys and Leon Roberts, Sr. on December 6, 1946 in West Plains, Missouri, and moved to the Ontario, Oregon area with her parents as a baby. She attended both Nyssa High School and Ontario High School, as well as Northwest Business College in Portland, Oregon. On St. Patricks Day in 1980, she married the love of her life, Michael Lee Knight (Mikey) from Payette Idaho. Margaret had many jobs throughout her life, taking her all over the world, including Alaska and New Zealand, which were two of her favorite places. She loved meeting new people, and she enjoyed connecting through social media with extended family across the country and the world. And through it all, she was very loyal to her old and dear friends. Margaret is survived by her husband Michael Lee Knight and by her brother William Thomas Roberts (Tom). She was preceded in death by siblings Judith Roberts Goodfellow and Leon Roberts, Jr. She was very close to her nephew, Richard Terry Goodfellow, and his children: Whitney, Jon Henry, and Chloe, as well as Tom Roberts’ children: William Jr., Bobby, Benjamin, Lacey, Andrew, and Nicholas. She is already greatly missed by all who knew her. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, September 14, 2018 at 10 a.m. at the Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Fruitland, Idaho. Arrangements and Cremation by Lienkaemper Chapel, Ontario.
