Quentieria Knight

Quentieria Knight was a young woman from Bainbridge, Georgia, known in her community as a hard‑working employee and a person who looked out for others. At 22, she worked at Elberta Crate and Box Company — a place where coworkers remember daily routines, shared shifts, and ordinary acts of care. That commitment to helping those around her is part of how friends and family recall her: someone willing to lend a hand or a ride to another person in need.

Public records and contemporaneous local reporting place Quentieria in the fabric of her community — doing everyday work, traveling familiar roads of Decatur County, and connecting with people at her workplace. While the public record concentrates on the tragic circumstances of her death on April 29, 2016, it also acknowledges the people who mourned her and sought justice on her behalf, including relatives named in news coverage.

Because there is not a published funeral‑home obituary available in the public records located for this research, fuller private remembrances from family and close friends are not included here. What the available sources do show is that Quentieria was a real person with relationships, a job, and a place in her town — not just a headline. Her life mattered to those who knew her, and the loss was felt by family, coworkers, and members of the Bainbridge community.

For those who wish to honor her memory, remember the simple human details verified in the public record: Quentieria was a young worker in Bainbridge whose small acts of kindness toward others were part of her daily life. Holding those facts close — the work she did, the town she lived in, and the people she touched — keeps her identity centered on who she was rather than on the violence that ended her life. May this brief remembrance acknowledge her as a person of worth whose life — however short — mattered to family, friends, and neighbors.
