Laurie M.

Legg

Laurie M. Legg, 65, was born on March 28, 1961 and passed away on October 23, 2026, in Dickson, Tennessee.

She grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. Laurie attended high school in Hudson, Ohio, where she graduated with honors and made her mark in nearly everything she did. She served as student body president, edited the yearbook, was a basketball statistician, participated on the flag and dance teams, and was a member of the National Honor Society.

After high school, Laurie made Nashville her home. She began her life as a devoted stay-at-home mother, dedicating herself to raising her children. Once her children were grown and out of the house, Laurie began a new chapter She started and owned Cinderella Solutions, a cleaning service that served high-end clientele.

Laurie was a true free spirit with an unwavering faith in the Lord. She showed this devotion at Bellevue Community Church, where she attended. She was gentle, kind, generous, thoughtful, and never met a stranger. She had a special way of making everyone around her feel loved, seen, and heard. Her joyful spirit and ability to have fun made her a joy to be around.

Laurie’s greatest passions were music, singing, and dancing. She was almost always dancing and loved every kind of music, though the Hustle held a special place in her heart. She was phenomenal on the dance floor and danced anywhere and everywhere—from local dance clubs to nursing homes, where she and friends would entertain residents. For more than 10 years, her dance partner was Ben, a Green Beret and war veteran. Laurie also loved karaoke and was a member of the church choir. Her friends would eagerly share news of local karaoke events so they could all gather and enjoy an evening together. Her favorite song, “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack, beautifully reflected the way she lived her life. The song moved Laurie so deeply that its music video brought tears to her eyes every time.

Laurie and her husband, Vincent Legg, met through a friend at church. After their second date, they were inseparable. They became engaged just six weeks after meeting and married six weeks following the proposal. Their 22 years together were a true love story. Vincent was not only Laurie’s husband, but her soulmate and best friend. He eventually left his job to work alongside Laurie so they could spend as much time together as possible. In their 22 years together, they were apart for only about 10 days in total.

Laurie leaves behind her best friend and husband, Vincent Legg; her children, Steven McKnight, Ryan McKnight (Jenna), and Ashley Bowen; her brother, David Jonnes (Becky); her beloved granddaughter, Charlie; and many cherished friends and family members who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Eleanor Jonnes, and her son, Andrew McKnight.

Laurie lived with an open heart, a joyful spirit, a deep faith, and a love for people that touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. She truly danced through life, and her laughter, kindness, music, and love will continue to live on in all who knew her.
