he enjoyed sewing items to take to craft fairs. She also sewed blankets for the NICU at JPS. She was also a great listener. She did not judge or push her opinion upon you.

She had a funny side as well. She would tell stories about growing up where a sister or brother would do something and then be in trouble. She would have told them during all of it that you will get into trouble and they did not heed her warning.
She freely gave mother's love to all and will be missed immensely.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Walter.
Survivors: Six children, Terry Knapp and wife, Margo, Steve Knapp and wife, Lynee, Christy Mathews and husband Rick, Dave Knapp, Alisa Lohse and husband, Ronnie, and Mark Knapp; eight grandchildren; and fourteen great grandchildren.
