FRAULENE MCKNIGHT

Heaven's gates opened Friday morning as angels took Fraulene McKnight home. 
What a reunion he is having with his parents Norman and Ella McKnight, father 
and mother-in-law Chester and Grace Turnage, and brother-in-law Jimmy Douglas.

Fraulene was born October 23, 1940 in Rayville, Louisiana and passed away 
peacefully at home February 12, 2016, after a several year battle with 
Multiple Systems Atrophy. After marrying Carolyn Turnage they moved to Baton 
Rouge so that he could pursue his Masters and PhD in Poultry Nutrition. 
Fraulene taught Home Economics at LSU for 10 years and then was the LSU 
Cooperative Extension Poultry Specialist for 10 years. He retired from LSU and 
went to work in industry for ConAgra Poultry and later the BASF Corporation. 
He loved fishing, hunting and traveling.

Fraulene is survived by his wife of 53 years Carolyn Turnage McKnight, his two 
children Scott McKnight (Jennifer) of Houston, TX and Denise Waterfield (Doug) 
of Kearney, NE. His children and grandchildren were the light of his life. His 
eight grandchildren were his world. He loved teaching them how to fish, tie a 
knot, cast, bait and take fish off the line. Dylan, Collin, Ethan, Brennan and 
Aidan McKnight, Ruthie, Peter and William Waterfield Grandad loved you all to 
the moon and back. Fraulene is also survived by his sister Sue Douglas, Little 
Rock, Arkansas, brother Donald McKnight (LaDonna), Lake Charles, La and sister 
Gail (Ted) Lowery, Mer Rouge, La. and aunt Sara Lou Turner of Sea Graves, TX. 
He is also survived by sisters-in-law Frances Neal, Joyce McMahen, Judy (Ed) 
Smith, Joan (Philip) Marshall, and brother-in-law Johnny (Liz) Turnage, and a 
host of beloved nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and other family members.

Pallbearers will be Doug Waterfield, John Turnage, Ed Smith, Jim Douglas, 
Jimmy Neal and Ray Finney. Honorary Pallbearers are Dylan McKnight, Collin 
McKnight, Peter Waterfield, Al Olinde, Bob Davenport, Don Bedell and Dewey 
Senn.
