August 8, 1947 — June 3, 2019
Mary Ella Hinson McKnight, age 71, passed away on June 3, 2019 at her home in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee surrounded by her loving family.
Mary Ella was born August 8, 1947 in Franklin, Tennessee to the late Walter Thomas Hinson and Annie Elizabeth Hinson.

She was a loving homemaker for many years and worked at the Mt Pleasant police department in records and dispatch. She also worked at Maury County Tobacco warehouse and owned and operated The Frame Shop in Mt Pleasant for several years. Mary Ella loved spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchild. Her home was the place to gather for delicious home cooking and sitting around the table talking and making new memories and talking about past memories. She had the knack of making everyone feel at home and welcome. She was a devoted Christian woman who loved her Main Street Church of Christ family.
