Leah Carlene Knowlton, 28, of Central City, Colo., was an amazing and talented woman who was taken from us by violent hands on Jan. 20, 2021; her family and friends are devastated.
Born Feb. 8, 1992, in Baltimore, Md., she was the daughter of Joanne B. âJodyâ (Yeager) Knowlton of Rapidan, Va., and the late John Wellington Knowlton. She was a 2010 graduate of Fairfield High School and earned an associate degree from Craven Community College in general sciences.
Leah loved to run and participated in many races over the years, but was most proud of her Norwegian Hiking Badge that challenged her more than anything before, especially considering her rebuilt knee.
