Marie (Murgi) Knight

Age 91, formerly of Mt. Washington, on Saturday, November 14, 2015. Beloved mother of Marian (Bernie) Fedak of Pittsburgh and Kenneth (Nancy) of California; cherished grandmother of John Fedak of Nevada, Todd Fedak (Andrea) of Smithfield, PA and Matthew Knight (Abby) of California; "special" grandmother of Aimee Pliette (Steve) of California; great- grandmother of Jacob Knight; survived by brother, Leonard Murgi (Delores); sister, Janet Vernacchio; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Preceded by spouse of 53 years, Willis Knight; parents, Luigi and Marion Murgi; and brothers, Frank Murgi (Joanne) and Alfred Murgi (Josephine). Marie was devoted to church, family and community. She was devout in her faith, a caregiver to many and a lifelong volunteer. She most proud of her crocheting. Numerous relatives and friends received her afghans. She was recognized for her "blanketeer" service to Project Linus (hand made afghans for critically ill children). She also loved to bake, especially cookies, and donated countless batches over the years to various bake sales and events. The family thanks Juniper Village of Forest Hills, Kane Glen Hazel and Gateway Hospice for making Marie's final years meaningful and dignified. She lived a simple and good life. She made the world a better place. Rest in peace
