MARY CRESCENTIA KNUEVEN
Mary Crescentia Knueven was born on December 25, 2020, and admitted to the NICU at St. Vincent’s Women’s Hospital in Indianapolis. In the days that followed, Mary became increasingly ill despite the best efforts of the doctors and nurses. In her short life, Mary received the waters of Baptism and was greeted by her grandparents. She spent her final moments in the arms of her parents Brian and Jill (Kuntz) Knueven. Mary entered the embrace of our heavenly Father on December 29, 2020, surrounded by her father, mother, and twin sister Catherine.
Mary’s spirit can still be felt at the bedside of her sister, Catherine Ann, who is in the NICU at St. Vincent. Each day is a milestone for Catherine and her parents take comfort knowing Mary’s spirit is watching over her. The bonds of sisterhood hold them together although they have been separated in this life.
Mary will be dearly missed by her parents Brian and Jill (Kuntz) Knueven and sister Catherine Ann of Sunman; grandparents Bill and Bev (Eckstein) Knueven of Sunman and Bill and Geraldine (Moster) Kuntz of Batesville; and seven uncles, four aunts and six cousins.
Private services will be held for the family. Memorials can be made to All Saints Parish or the St. Vincent House at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis. The St. Vincent House is a home where family members are able to stay, free of charge, when their children are under the care of St. Vincent Hospital. Memorials will be accepted prior to the Rosary and Mass or can be mailed to Andres-Wuestefeld Funeral Home at 25615 State Rt. 1, Guilford, IN 47022. Please visit www.andres-wuestefeldfh.com to sign the online guestbook or leave condolences.
