Dorothy Kight passed away peacefully on November 21, 2020 to spend eternity
with her savior, Jesus Christ. She is now home and reunited with her husband,
Michael John Robson Kight, her brother, Edward Charles "Ike" Isaac
Jr., and her parents, Edward Charles Isaac and Ruth Purdy Isaac.
Dorothy was born on October 25, 1938 in Houston, Texas. She attended River Oaks
Elementary, Lanier Junior High, Lamar High School, and the University of Texas
at Austin. She married Michael John Robson Kight on November 18, 1961 at St.
Anne Catholic Church. Dorothy and Mike enjoyed eight wonderful years in the
Larchmont neighborhood where they made lifelong friends. In 1970, Dorothy and
Mike moved to the house on Pelham Drive where Dorothy was raised. Their home
was a meeting place for adults and children for over 27 years. Dorothy always
had the door open and was the consummate hostess. Dorothy and Mike eventually
left Houston and spent their twilight years on the San Bernard River in Sweeny,
Texas. This was Mamma Sue's happy place, as she was lovingly known to her
grandkids. If she was not edging the yard with scissors or tending to her
plants, she was enjoying the peacefulness and beauty of the river.
Dorothy was admired for her quiet, reserved and polite disposition. She had so
many sweet and loyal friends gathered from her school days and commitments to
Tri Delta Sorority, PEO Sisterhood, River Oaks Garden Club, the Brown Thumb
Garden Club from Larchmont, The Church of St. John the Divine, St. Anne
Catholic Church, St Thomas Mother's Club, The Guild Shop, and so many more. She
had an amazing life surrounded by the love and admiration of family and
friends.
Her children always said it and believe it to be true; she was a living angel.
She loved the Lord completely and was servant hearted in a way that is seldom
seen these days. Dorothy Kight will always be the finest example of the
generous and selfless life that Christ asks of us all.
Dorothy is survived by her three sons and their families; Renee and Michael
Kight and their children and families, Anna and Johnny Kight and their son
Luca, Kayla and Jake Kight, Annie and Kelly Kuni, and Ashley Kight; Catherine
and Rick Kight and their children CJ, Kristin and William; Hollianne and Allen
Kight and their children Bryan and Ellie.
Due to the current health crisis, the family will conduct a private burial at
Glenwood Cemetery later this year. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that
any memorial contributions be directed to Camp Allen, 18800 FM 362, Navasota,
Texas 77868 or https://www.campallen.org/support.html
.
While we mourn her loss, as Dorothy always said, "This too shall
pass." This is the hope we have in Jesus, and for this, we give eternal
praise!
