Loretta Ann"'Bunnie"Melton Knabenshue

Loretta Ann (Bunnie) Melton Knabenshue, 71, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, February 7th after battling a long illness. Bunnie was born in Manchester, Kentucky.

Bunnie began her career with Cherry Creek Schools at Arrowhead Elementary before spending many years at Smoky Hill and finally retiring from Eaglecrest High School. She touched the lives of countless children over her 27-year career. Bunnie's pride and joy were her 3 boys and most of her time was spent cheering for them in their many sporting events.
