Susan Lynn Knapp
Susan Lynn Knapp, much loved by all who knew her, passed away on Sept. 30 in her home in Sun City Center. Born in 1938 and raised by parents Claude and Edith Gardner in Ferguson, Missouri, she started out as a legal secretary straight out of high school and later was an airline stewardess and, finally, a high school English teacher.
Lynn is predeceased by her husband, Richard Knapp and step-daughter Susan Dalton. She is survived by three daughters, Kym Bartlett, Elizabeth Schall and Christine Henry; four grandchildren, Jasper, Jackson, Taylor and Louie; and two sisters, Jill Jones and Claudia Tennison.
Loving to travel, Lynn took her mother to England, travelled to the Galapagos and, also, Alaska with daughter Kym, and accompanied both daughters and their families to Costa Rica where she zip lined along with the family. Lynn was very active in her church and community, sharing her time and money to bless others. Although physically challenged the last few years, she remained mentally sharp all her life. No public funeral or memorial service will be held.
