Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:1-2
Jennifer "Jen" Rae Knott, 56, of Louisville Colorado, was welcomed into the Lord's arms on September 16, 2022. Jennifer was born on March 14, 1966, in Minneapolis Minnesota to Jack and Madeline Knott.
She graduated from Centaurus High School in 1984. Following graduation, she attended the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, where she studied medical billing. Throughout her college years she found interest in the accounting field, where she then grew her career.
Following her studies, in 1989 she planted roots in the Boulder County area where she raised her two sons. For many years to come Jennifer, was an integral part of her community in Louisville.
Jennifer served her community for more than 15 years. She was a member of the Tri-City Elks Club where she held many titles, including Exalted Ruler from 2013-2016. Most recently she served at the American Legion, Post 111 where she was a devoted member of the Ladies Auxiliary Club. Jennifer also served as the Auxiliary Second Vice President, and previously held the titles of Secretary and Chaplain.
Volunteering her time to the City of Louisville was one of her greatest passions. This included dedicating her time to countless fundraisers. To name a few, the recovery efforts of the Marshall fire, The Louisville Golf Tournament, The Louisville Easter Egg Run, her special soup mixes for the Louisville Craft Fair, and many others. She was passionate about raising awareness for both epilepsy and breast cancer.
You could find her heading up the kitchen, where she cooked every dish with love. In the springtime she soaked up the Colorado sun tending to her garden; hot peppers and tomatoes were sure to be a staple. When she wasn’t using her green thumb, she found serenity in water. Jen was an avid sports fan and was always cheering on all of her favorite sports teams, especially The Avs and The New York Jets.
Jennifer is preceded by her father, Jack Knott, mother, Madeline Knott, and older brother Pat Knott.
She is survived by her significant other, David Wyman of Louisville Colorado, as well as her sons Scott and Eric Loftesness, her three grandchildren, and two adored sisters, Brenda Knott and Kim Ricks.
Jennifer was a beloved companion, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and dear friend to many. Please help us in honoring Jennifer's life. A service will be held in her memory on Friday, October 14, 2022, at St. Louis Catholic Parish at 10 AM. To follow, a celebration of life will be held at the Louisville Tri-City Elks Club at noon, where all are welcome.

I am so sorry, I just heard this terrible news. Jen was a good friend to my father, and we connected on our relationship with our parents. My brother and I would visit Jen on our trips back to Colorado and I am glad I was able to see her last summer. She loved her sons so much, I wish you all the best. She will always be missed by so many.

So sorry to hear this news. She was one of a kind. My wife and I liked her from the start. Not many people who have the love for her community, and actually did the work!

Jennifer reached out to me after we lost our home in the Marshall Fire last December. She was so incredibly supportive and helpful with resources I could find. I will never forget her kindness. Deep condolences to all of her loved ones.

Thank you Sarah. I remember her telling me she was going to see if you needed help after the fire. She loved helping others. We miss her so much.

Sarah, there are plans for a memorial bench in Jennifer's name. I thought you could donate on this page, but I don't see anything. I will check with her sons and let you know. Thank you for your kindness - it means so much to all of us.
