Jane (Jan) Nunley Knight, 65, passed away on March 7, 2019, at her home in Charleston, West Virginia, after a long illness.

A native of Charleston, Jan attended the University of Kentucky, graduated with a master's degree in Library Science, and started a career as a librarian at the UK Libraries and the Lexington Public Library (Lansdowne branch) in Lexington, Kentucky, where she would live for 31 years. Jan developed a special interest in children's books and literacy, and from 1990 she worked primarily as a reading tutor, first at Fayette County Public Schools and then as a freelancer in Powell, Ohio, a job that brought her great joy and fulfillment.

Knight; son, Jeffrey Knight; daughter, Tracy See, and son-in-law Scott See; grandchildren, Avery and Harper See; brother and sister-in-law, Jim and Elise Nunley; and sister-in-law, Martha Nunley.
