Kristin “Krissy” Mitchell McKnight, 52, passed away unexpectedly on May 22nd, 2025 in her home in Keller Texas, surrounded by her loving son Ethan and sweet animals Bandit and Honey.

Born in Shreveport Louisiana 1973, Kristin loved her family, friends, and pets. She loved crafting and collecting. She was an exceptional mother and friend. She was easygoing, accepting, and cherished by many.

Kristin was the kind of woman who never went a day without laughter. Her smile was as sweet as sunshine. She loved Hello Kitty, and the color yellow. She never missed a phone call, and was always happy to listen over a margarita at her favorite Mexican restaurant. She was creative, smart, witty, dependable. She took initiative to excel at many things, from making candles, jewelry, scrapbooks, and knittings, to ju-jitsu, personal training, gardening, fostering, and more. Whatever she put her mind to, it would get accomplished.

She is survived by her children, Emily Montgomery, Alexis McKnight, and Ethan McKnight. Her siblings Terrilyn Eldridge of Metairie, LA, Simeon Mitchell and his wife, Tami of Sumrall, MS., and Heidi Diecedue and her husband, Joey of Baton Rouge, LA., as well as her Aunt Gloria Hughes and Uncles John Hughes, Michael Hughes, and Rodney Mitchell. She is also survived by her niece Elizabeth Michell, and Nephews Christian Mitchell, Julien, Roman, and Adrian Diecedue, and her great nephew, Zachary.

She joins her parents Janet and Kenneth Mitchell.
