Mira Beth McKnight
December 24, 2015
Mira Beth McKnight, the daughter of Mitch and Michelle McKnight flew away on angel’s wings the morning of Thursday, December 24, 2015. She was born on July 9, 2009 in Newton, Iowa. Mira was a brave 6 year old girl who had fought a courageous battle against cancer. She touched many lives and everyone who met her soon grew to love her. We will always remember her infectious smile, her crazy blonde hair and big blue eyes, and most of all her loving and caring personality. Mira was a shy girl, yet so full of sass!
In addition to her mommy and daddy, she is survived by her big sister, Mikayla, her loving grandparents and extended family and friends.
Family will greet friends from 4 to 6 p.m., Tuesday, December 29, 2015 at Hamilton’s Altoona Funeral Home, 105 4th Street SW. Funeral services will be held at 12 p.m., December 30th at Cornerstone Bible Fellowship in Newton with burial to follow at Restland Cemetery in Baxter.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be directed to the Children’s Cancer Connection or Make-A-Wish Foundation of Iowa in Mira’s name.
