Annie R. “Cookie - Nay” McKnight

Annie R. McKnight “Cookie/Nay,” age 59, unexpectedly passed away on Saturday, September 4, 2021. Annie is someone you could best describe as the ultimate people person. She was a cherished employee of The Carnival Club and The Court of Two Sisters. With a passion for working in the service industry as a bartender, it’s safe to say that she never met a stranger.
