Angelia Y Knighton

Angelia Yvette Cade Knighton passed away on April 1, 2021, after a short illness, at UT Medical Center.  Born June 28, 1966 to Eddie and Maxine Cade in Knoxville, TN, she was a loving, compassionate, and funny person.  She was a member of the Austin East Class of 1984 where she was voted “Most Wittiest.” 

Laughs were always in store when Angie was around.  She had a beautiful spirit and some of her closest friends knew she was the “real deal.”  What came up, came out!  Whatever she said, she certainly meant every word.
