Phyllis 'Jeanne' Knutson, 75

Our mother, Jeanne, has closed the Holst branch of her family tree and has joined her mother and father, Donald R. Holst and Phyllis E. (Knapp) Holst, brother Don Holst Jr. and sister Melody R. Edwards in eternity. She was married to Jerry Knutson in 1990 until his passing in 2017. She fought an almost five yearslong battle with lung cancer. We are heartbroken by her passing, but we are comforted by knowing she is now at peace.

Jeanne is survived by her three children: Sean Dyer, Shannon VanCurler (Alan) and Steve Dyer (Melissa); five grandchildren: Ashley (Eric), Zachary, Amber (Nick), Wyatt and Ella; and two great-grandchildren, Addeline and Leeland.

Mom enjoyed socializing, playing pool, darts and cards. Good luck at ever winning any game with her.

You are going to live in our hearts forever. May the lord give strength to us to cope in these hard times. Rest peacefully!

A private memorial will be held at a later date. Arrangements made by Yates Funeral Home. Please visit Jeanne’s online memorial and sign her guestbook at www.yatesfuneralhomes.com.
