Tiffany R. Knautz

Tiffany Knautz, age 31, of Hanover, IL, passed away suddenly Tuesday, June 6, at Midwest
Hospital in Galena, IL.

Tiffany was born June 27, 1991, daughter of Penny Bourrette of Hanover, and Todd (Amy)
Knautz of Benton, WI. She spent much of her childhood growing up in Ottumwa, IA, where
she made many fond memories. Later she moved to the Hanover area. She attended grade
school and middle school in Thomson, IL and River Ridge High School.

Those who knew Tiffany took note of her free spirit and big heart. She was creative and loved
making crafts with epoxy. Tiffany had a personality that could light up a room, and she could
make anyone laugh with her sense of humor. In her spare time Tiffany enjoyed the outdoors,
listening to music, and taking care of her dog Choppo. She enjoyed the time she spent
making sponge candy with her Grandma Dianne and loved her family very much. Closest to
Tiffany’s heart were her four children.

Tiffany will be dearly missed by her children, Jayleigh Bourrette, Chayton Bourrette, Karmah
Knautz, and Charlie Knautz; her parents, Penny and Todd; three sisters, Megan, Amanda,
and Abby; two brothers, Tony, and Victor; her grandparents, Dianne Paxton and Tom and
Carol Bourrette; two uncles, Jason Bourrette, and Jeff (Lisa) Bourrette; two aunts, Patti Eadie,
and Tonya Knautz; and many nieces and nephews. Tiffany was preceded in death by her
grandparents, Victor Knautz, Sandy Bourrette, Grandma Tom and Grandpa Paxton.
