of Bryant, AR

January 17, 1948 - November 28, 2019

Linda "Dianne" Knuteson, resident of Bryant, Arkansas, formerly of North Little Rock, passed away on November 28, 2019 at home at the age of 71 years.

Dianne graduated North Little Rock High School in 1965. After attending and completing business school, she went to work for National Old Line Insurance Company. It was soon after she started working there that she met her husband. Dianne and John were married on October 14, 1966. After being a stay at home wife and mother for 18 years, she went to work for the University of Arkansas Agricultural Division. She loved her job, but more than that, she loved the people she worked with. She retired after 24 years and her and her husband enjoyed traveling, going camping, and just being together.

She was so organized and absolutely could not stand clutter. She was the embodiment of gratitude. Every person she met was loved and treated like family. Her passions were singing in the church choir, working at the food pantry, reading and cooking. She worked endless hours organizing and facilitating the Saint Mark's food pantry. Dianne especially enjoyed time spent with friends and family.

She is survived by her husband, John Knuteson; children, Melinda Miller (Ronald), Matthew Knuteson (Pokey LeCornu); grandchildren, Charlotte Rogers (Chris), Rachael Miller and Emily Miller; two great-grandchildren, Collin and Caleb; sisters, Rose Radlein (Rodney) and Brenda Barfield (Michael).

Dianne was preceded in death by her parents, John and Dora Ridling; sisters, Jean Williams and Rena Fisher; and brother, Eddie Ridling.

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, December 3, 2019 at Faith Lutheran Church, 7525 W. Markham Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. A visitation will be held on Monday, December 2, 2019 from 5:30-7:30 PM at Roller-Owens Funeral Home, 5509 JFK Blvd in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Saint Mark's food pantry through Saint Mark's Episcopal Church at 1000 N. Mississippi Street in Little Rock, Arkansas in Dianne's honor.
