Mildred (Mid) J. Knight Huff 89, of Tampa, Fl passed away on Thursday September 19, 2024 at home surrounded by family. Born on October 4th, 1934 in Martins Ferry, Ohio, the daughter of the late George and Anna Knight.
Mid was a kind and caring soul who always put the needs of others before her own. She was the true definition of a lady who had exquisite taste in all things. She had a flair for throwing glamorous and elegant parties that would give Martha Stewart a run for her money and created memories for everyone that attended for years to come. She was known by many for her culinary masterpieces and her passion for cooking was matched only by her joy in feeding others as she found true fulfillment in seeing the happiness and satisfaction her culinary creations brought to others.
Mid was a remarkable woman whose greatest joy in life was her family whom she loved unconditionally and devoted herself to wholeheartedly. Her love for her family was unparalleled, and she poured her heart and soul into creating a warm and welcoming home for all that entered. She was a true beacon of love and strength whose unwavering dedication to those she loved was evident in every aspect of her life.
Mildred is survived by her son James J. Huff and daughter and best friend Vickie A. Huff, Granddaughters Ashley Kuhl (Jared) and Cortney Stone (Nathan), Great Grandchildren Logan Garner (Alyssa), Cody Kerns (Megan), Hannah Durnell (Logan), Kaylei Garner and Emma Kuhl and Great Great Granddaughters Elaina and Enslei Garner, Bonus Daughter Barbara Tergolina, Sister in law Marlene Knight and numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Mildred is proceeded in death by her husband James J. Huff, Brothers Joseph Knight, Harry Knight, Harold Knight and Dewey Knight, Sister Wilma Knight.
Mid leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion. As we mourn the loss of a truly remarkable woman, let us remember the joy and love she brought to our lives. May her spirit of love and hospitality continue to inspire us all. Rest in peace, Mom/Grandma. You will be deeply missed but your memory will live on in our hearts forever.
