Trimble, Elizabeth Knowles Thursday, February 4, 2021
Our earthly loss was heaven’s gain early Monday morning, February 1, 2021, when our dear and beloved mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Knowles Trimble was called home following a brief illness.
“Passing out of the shadow into a purer light; stepping behind the curtain, getting a clearer sight; passing out of the shadow into eternal day why do we call it dying, this sweet going away!
She was born on August 31, 1927 in Menlo, GA. She was the oldest of seven children born to John David Knowles Sr. and Tessie Mae Mack Knowles.
She graduated as Salutatorian of Hill High School in LaFayette, GA in 1948 and was joined in holy matrimony with Samuel Trimble on September 30, 1950. The couple relocated to Chattanooga in 1955, where she worked on both Lookout and Signal Mountains until the late 1960s.
