Carolyn Mary Knudson

October 8, 1934 - January 11, 2020

Carolyn Mary Knudson of Riverside, age 85, entered peacefully into glory on January 11, 2020, with family at her side.   She was born October 8, 1934, in Minneapolis, MN to Charles and Helen Hobbs.  Beloved mother of David Knudson (Patty) of Riverside and Janice Wene of Illinois. In addition to her two children, she is survived by her 6 grandchildren: James, Gabi, and Sydney Knudson, and Sadie, CJ, and Calvin Wene.  Carolyn was a speech therapist for the Alvord Unified School District. After retiring, she fulfilled her long time dream of becoming a Christian missionary with Frontiers USA. She served as a nanny and home school teacher for missionary families around the world.  Following her international work, Carolyn’s service turned to the home front at Harvest Christian Fellowship.  Carolyn was known as a mighty prayer warrior who loved the Lord.  When given her terminal diagnosis she said, “It’s a win-win. Either the Lord heals me so I can continue to serve Him, or I enter into glory with Him!”

A celebration of life service will be held at Harvest Christian Fellowship, 6115 Arlington Avenue Riverside, CA 92504, on Monday, January 27, 2020, at 1:00 PM.
