It with great sadness that we report that Rebecca “Becky” Knowles, wife of Don Knowles, passed away Oct. 8 at age 78 at their home in Pittsboro, N.C. due to 
complications from Alzheimer’s disease. Don said that she passed quietly and with no pain. They had been married for 56 years and had a daughter Sarah, son Jamie and four grandchildren. A more detailed obituary is posted on the Walker Funeral Home website.
In lieu of a funeral, the Knowles family will host a gathering, and more details will be shared in the future. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Duke Dementia Family Support Program at DukeFamilySupport.org, and to UNC Hospice at uncmedicalcenter.org/hospice.
