Nancy Ruth Parks Knox, age 70, of Kingston, passed away January 3, 2020 at her home with her loving husband, T.J., and caregivers, Bobby & Annette Herrell at her side. Nancy was a retired secretary from the X-10 Nuclear Plant. She later went back to work at Roane Heart Center in the Cardiology Department. She enjoyed bird watching and loved her two pet cats, Max & Tub as if they were her family because she and T.J. were never blessed with children or siblings. Survivors include her loving husband of 50 years: Thomas Jerry (T.J.) Knox of Kingston; caregivers as well as special aunt & uncle, Annette & Bobby Herrell of Kingston. Special appreciation and heartfelt thanks go out to all the staff of Amedisys Hospice of Sweetwater and the staff at Quality Care, who were so kind and supportive during Nancy’s illness. The family will receive friends from 1 to 2 p.m., Sunday, January 5, 2020 at Fraker Funeral Home with funeral service following.  Interment will follow at Swan Pond Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family request memorials be made to Dementia Society of America, P.O. Box 600, Doylestown, PA 18901 or online at dementiasociety.org.
