SOUTHPORT — Joy E. Knotts, 62, passed away Saturday, Oct. 26, 2019.
Mrs. Knotts was born Oct. 8, 1957, the daughter of the late Edwin Elkins and Sarah Johnson. Joy recently retired from Brunswick Interagency Program, where she had worked for 30 years.

She will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was literally a “Joy” to all that knew her.
Survivors include her husband of 39 years, Michael Knotts; son, Tyler Knotts, and his wife, Jennifer; four grandchildren; two brothers, Allan Elkins and James Elkins; brother-in-law, Larry Knotts; and sister-in-law, Beverly Brown.
