Kathee Marlene Knoy's Obituary

Kathee was a small woman with endless spunk, a little bit of spice, and a heart bigger than life itself. She brought energy, humor, and compassion everywhere she went, leaving a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.
As a middle school special education teacher with Tulsa Public Schools, Kathee devoted her life to helping children who needed patience, encouragement, and someone who truly believed in them. She had a gift for seeing the potential in every student and worked tirelessly to help them succeed, both in the classroom and in life.
Her strength, kindness, and spirited personality will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by family, friends, former students, and colleagues alike.
Kathee left behind to cherish fond memories, her daughter Jade Goodson and husband Jacob, grandson Jayden Goodson, stepdaughter Adrienne Knoy, her significant other Anthony "Tony" Canali, and a host of cousins, extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Patrick Knoy.
A Celebration of Life service will be held 12:30 PM, Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at Floral Haven Funeral Home Chapel in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
