Grammar, please

Which is correct when one person is alive and the other is deceased?

1."They both knew how to... ."
2."They both know how to... ."

Awkward no matter which.

Casually, I'd probably go for #1 or say something like "Jane knew and Deety knows how to..." So: What she said, with example.

If I were writing, I'd throw it all out and start more cleanly, because a quick fix is still clunky.
