Entombment will be private. Flowers will be accepted or memorial donations may be made to Knightsville Methodist Church in Summerville, SC. Born April 10, 1937 to Clausen E. and Eva Hutson Knight. Annette, a quintessential southern lady, was a friend to all who knew her, served her tea cold and sweet with a smile. She and her husband raised two children, Sheila and Jaimie, in Holly Hill, SC. She married James L. Dopson, and they moved back to Knightsville, SC, where they enjoyed horseback riding, traveling and good southern food. Annette graduated Summerville High School and was a member of Knightsville Methodist Church and Crossroads Community Church and served every pot luck dish with charm and style. The simplest pleasures in life brought her great joy. Bless her heart, she had a southern adage for every situation. She loved cooking, gardening, sewing, shopping, talking on the phone, and a good laugh over tea with friends. She is survived by her loving and devoted daughter, Sheila Shepard and her husband, Mike; her sisters, Geraldine Craven and Betty Jean Varner. She was preceded in death by her parents, Clausen E. and Eva Knight; her sister, Lillian Sweat; her brothers, Randolph Knight, Clausen E. Knight, Jr. and Edmond Knight; her husband, James Dopson and her son, Jaimie Dopson. The family wishes to thank Sarah Alston, Win Graham, Barbara Young, and Elaine Doctor for their tireless dedication and endless love in caring for Annette, allowing her to stay in the comfort of her home.
