Helen loved to stay busy creating beautiful gardens and
decorating the interiors of her many homes. She enjoyed
embroidery, needlepoint, sewing, and crafts. Eventually her
talents bloomed into a home business where she designed
curtains, drapes, and fine needlework pillows. Her hands
were always busy. She shared her roots of home cooking and
was always ready to experience new recipes and entertain.
One of her favorite passions was playing bridge. True to
form, Helen eventually taught bridge. Helen found an
interest in genealogy where she was a proud member of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Coming from a family of eleven children, her life was filled
with the belief of John 14:1-3 - "Let not your hearts be
troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's
house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told
you that I go to prepare a place for you?" This verse leads
the way to her family history. Helen is survived by her
husband Lt. Col. Charles (Chuck)Lewis (Ret); her brother
Arthur (Babe) Hodge; sister in law, Catalina Hodge; Joyce
(Dot) Hodge, sister in law of deceased brother James (Jay)
Hodge, her son and wife Ronald and Margie Lewis;
grandchildren Shayna and Rick and great grandchild Madeline;
her daughter and husband Paula and Jody Morris;
grandchildren Chelsea and Jeb and great-grandchildren, Jalen,
Anthony Jr., Angelo and great-great-grandchild, Mila; and
other nieces and nephews.
Helen is predeceased by her brothers Earl Hodge, Douglas
(Buddy) Hodge, Alton (Snooks) Hodge, Henry (Buck) Hodge,
Charles (Polk) Hodge, Billy Joe Hodge, James (Jay) Hodge and
sisters; Audra Chandler, Mable Estes, and Mary Nell Boyd;
and grandchild Todd Douglas.
Helen's viewing will be held at 1 p.m. on May 13 at Owens
Livingston Mortuary in Show Low, Arizona. She will be buried
in Dallas/Ft. Worth National Cemetery on May 15 at 9 am with
current restrictions.
Helen always was accompanied by a beloved dog. The family
requests that memorials may be made to the American Humane
Society or the charity of their choice. |

Richard
Walker �Dick� Knight
Jan. 27, 1895 - Apr. 20, 1966
Former
Chamber Executive Here Dies Wednesday
Richard W. (Dick) Knight, 71, retired Chamber of Commerce
executive and veteran of 20 years in professional Chamber
service to Corsicana, died Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. in
Memorial Hospital.
The body will lie in state from 2 to 3 p.m. Thursday at
First Methodist church. Funeral rites will be held at 3 p.m.
with Rev. Sidney Roberts, pastor, and Rev. Leon Baze,
associate pastor, officiating. Burial will be in
Oakwood cemetery.
Corley's will conduct.
Mr. Knight had been critically ill since October, and
resigned as executive vice president of the Chamber of
Commerce in January, after serving 15 years in this
assignment, his second in that capacity for Corsicana. He
had been Chamber manager first here from 1937 to 1942.
He was a self-made man with little formal education who rose
to the heights of his profession. A native of Red River
county born near Clarksville Jan. 27, 1895, Knight attended
ungraded rural schools in Red River county and attended
Paris Commercial College for nine months taking a
secretarial and stenographic course. Throughout his
lifetime, he credited his wife, Mrs. Ann Lewis Knight, with
his self-educating process.
After his business college, Knight worked as a clerk in a
general merchandise store in Vasco, Delta county, and a
grocery store in Paris. He later owned and operated a
grocery store in Cooper for eight years, going into Chamber
of Commerce work as manager in Crockett in April, 1929, and
serving there until Feb., 1937, beginning a career that
lasted 37 years.
Knight came to his Corsicana post from Crockett, resigning
here to accept the management of the Abilene Chamber where
he served one year, before going to Wichita Falls on March
1, 1943. He was manager at Wichita Falls six years,
resigning to go into private business as owner of the Texas
Float Frame Co., a float decoration and street decoration
business that prompted his travel over most of Texas and
Oklahoma, and into Ohio, Florida, Tennessee and Washington,
D. C.
Corsicana called Knight back to its service as Chamber
manager on May 20, 1950. He considered it a distinct
compliment that both instances of his employment, first in
1937 and again in 1950, he was engaged without appearing
before the board of directors.
The veteran Chamber executive served as president of the
Texas Chamber of Commerce Managers 1943-44, as president of
the East Texas Chamber Managers, served three years on the
Policies and Ethics committee of the National Association of
Chamber of Commerce Executives, and on the national
association's program committee in 1962. Knight was a
program speaker on agriculture for the national association
in 1947.
During most of his professional life, he was a member of the
Lions Club in Corsicana and in Crockett where he was
presented the distinguished service pin from Lions
International. While in Wichita Falls, he was a member of
the Rotary Club. He served for years on the board and as
president of St. Paul's Industrial Training School at
Malakoff.
At the annual Chamber banquet in January, though prevented
by illness from attending, Knight was given a standing
ovation as the banquets guests joined the Chamber in
adoption of a resolution, which in lauding him, said in
part: "He went far beyond his official duties in working for
the betterment of our city, and he could never be adequately
compensated for his accomplishments. It can truly be said
that Chamber of Commerce work was his life, and he dedicated
his life to that job."
He was an active member of First Methodist church, all
phases of civic life, particularly in the old Community
Chest and its successor organization the Navarro County
United Fund.
He is survived by his wife; two sons, Dr. Ralph W. Knight of
Wichita Falls, and Dr. Richard G. Knight, of Fayetteville,
N. C.; eight grandchildren; four brothers, R. C. and O. A.
Knight, both of Fort Worth, and Luther K. and Otis K.
Knight, both of Dallas; a sister, Mrs. Jeff Story of Dallas;
a number of nieces and nephews.
Their oldest child, Virginia Knight Schulte, died in 1951.
Pallbearers will be Lin Warthan, T. L. Carlisle, F. C.
Stewart, Dr. Louis Gibson, W. D. Wyatt and W. F. Eckhardt of
