Came across this page today many years later in a sort of roundabout way. I knew of the sad news at the time but seeing my former classmates' and teachers' posts here brought tears to my eyes. Mrs. Knipel was a great teacher and I remember kindly working with me to get into the select choir group. I haven't stopped playing and making music. Thank you for touching our hearts and making an impact on us. You are missed.

It was a sweet time having you teach me in 6th & 8th grade. As well as working for 3 years in a row on the AM Prom Committee. Definitely fun when we ate Taco Bell as well since Sarah´s prom date was on Cinco de Mayo
But when all is said and done, you were indeed an Angel of music to me and everyone else around us. Thank you for the music, Mrs. Knipel. I miss you

I was randomly thinking of 6th grade music class with Ms Knipel in the fall of 1997 - she had put on a Toyota commercial with that silly song "Da Da Da" by Trio so we could keep time to it. I remember around this time of year, Halloween, she´d put in funny contact lenses like swirlies. What a bright ray of sunshine - it was devastating to look her up and find she has been gone, and lost so young. My condolences to her family, and may her memory be a blessing to the many, many lives she touched.

I went to elementary school at Bywood in Upper Darby and my memory of Mrs Knipel is one of my oldest and most fun memories. Unless my aging mind is mistaken I believe she was first Miss Miller because I recall her getting married and we had to learn a new name...lol! She was young and fun and taught us the coolest songs like those by Elton John. She taught guitar to many of her students after school and we all loved her. That said, we were still little kids and she was still a young teacher and I remember some of the bad boys in the class upset her and she cried. A couple of us stayed with her and comforted her and told her how much we loved her as a teacher and I remember her feeling better after that. She was a REAL friend to us, not just a grownup who didn´t care. She taught us Amish terms like "outen the light" (again unless my 56 year old mind is mixing that up!).
I cannot tell you how fond we were of our young, cool, beautiful, talented teacher except to say that even all these years later I can still remember her vividly and that I am a better person for all she taught me. I was sad to find out about her death at such a young age and I will always remember her love for her students. I know that she is now with the Lord and that she is free of any pain. I wish her husband and family peace and happiness and I hope that they know how many people´s lives she touched and how many people loved her. Including my only photos of Mrs Knipel....One is very poor and the other from the back, but she was doing what she loved....teaching us children music. Guessing this was around 1975 or 1976.

Isaiah 57:1-2
The righteous perish,
and no one takes it to heart;
the devout are taken away,
and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away
to be spared from evil.
Those who walk uprightly
enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death.
Many good memories from Sue & Dan in my childhood growing up in Grace Chapel. I'm praying for your family & I hope you find rest & peace in knowing that Sue is happier than ever now in the presence of our Lord.

As a first-year teacher at Springton Lake, Sue's bright smile and wonderful warmth was what helped to make it a joy to come to work every day. She was a bright light in this dark world, and she will be dearly missed. It is hard to believe she was taken from us so soon, but as others have mentioned, Heaven has received a wonderful saint into their midst. And we who are in Christ shall see her again. To Dan, Amanda, Katie, Carrie, Sarah and Justin: Know that you are in my prayers and the prayers of many others. May the Lord Himself be your light in this dark hour (Psalm 27:1). With much love,

Sue, you always had a smile on your face, always encouraging and positive, your faith in The Lord love and devotion to God was very clear. We raised our kids together, you and Dan were our four kids youth group leaders, we will never forget your labor of love all those years. We were prayer partners, friends . We share wonderful memories at Grace Chaple. May The Lord comfort you Dan and all her family. She will be greatly missed. Joe & Maggie Drygas.

I also would like to share how she had impacted me with having Donuts and Devos at SL for the students. It was and is the best thing that could have been incorporated. My son enjoyed the spiritual time spent with Mrs. Knipel and he was always eager to help her in the mornings to carry all the packages for her early in the mornings. Thank you Mrs. Knipel for having such a wonderful program for the students that like to get together to share prayers and to start their mornings with great blessings. God bless you.

Thoughts and prayers with the whole Knipel family at this sad time. I remember when I was in Mrs. Knipel's class on Parents Day, coming home and saying to my son, "Oh my Gosh, what an awesome music class" A couple weeks later, I had to ask Mrs. Knipel something so I relayed how much fun I had watching her class and told her I wish I had a music class like that when I was a kid. I got the kindest and most enthusiastic email back telling me to come in and be part of their class any day I wanted, others singers were always welcome! What an amazing woman! She will be missed by my son and by the whole community. Rose Tree Media was so lucky to have had her!

Mrs Knipel was my music teacher back when i was in middle school from 2003-2006. She always had such a live spirit when she taught us the wonders of music. She will be dearly missed. I will never forget the times when she taught music with a smile on her face. God Bless her wonderful soul.

Jen and I were thinking last night about when we met the Dan and Sue (35-40 years ago). We worked together in Sunbeams (3 and 4 year old children) at church. I had all their kids in Sunday School, Sue hosted Jen's wedding Shower, etc. Sue was a light on a hill. Always positive, always helpful, and always willing to give of herself. With tears I offer Dan our sympathies. Sue got to heaven first, she did like to win. I look forward to seeing her again some day. We loved you Sue.

Sue was a shining example of the power of a fantastic teacher, she loved and helped everyone. Her ability to help Springton Lake students appreciate a love of music, any type of music, was truly a gift. Sue always shared that gift. It was a priviledge to work on school and community committees with her and share in her enthusiasm. May God bring peace to Dan and all of the Knipel children.

We so loved Sue and treasure all our memories of her. She was so young when we first met her in church and so sparkling with optimism. One of my fondest memories was asking Dan if she wakes up smiling and he said she not only wakes up smiling, but she sings in the morning. Sue was a true blessing to everyone she knew. Our prayers are with Dan and his beautiful family.

My dear friend, Sue, will forever be a reminder of how we should all live our lives - with love for all, with an enthusiasm for all experiences, with an infectious joy and ready smile. She is our role model as a wife, mother, friend, and teacher. With each tear right now, there is a smile arising from her antics and pure love of life. How very much she will be missed - and how very blessed I was to have shared a part of her life and that of the family that she and Dan have raised together.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Knipel when I did my student teaching at Springton Lake. She was always very kind, supportive and always seemed to say the right thing to make you feel better. She was more than a great teacher, she was a great person. I feel blessed to have known her, even if it was for a short time. My prayers go out to the family in hopes they will receive comfort knowing she is in a better place.

I was so sorry to hear of Mrs. Knipel's passing. She was a wonderful teacher and a lovely human being. Both of my children had the good fortune to have been her students. She instilled a love of music that has continued long after their school days have ended. My son was a special needs student, and Mrs Knipel always treated him with respect and dignity. Sue was a special lady who made a huge impact on the lives of those she touched and she will be missed.

Dan and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Sue. She was one of the best people that I've ever known - always happy and putting others first. Even when we visited in July, she insisted on riding in the middle of the back seat of the car and paying for our lunch! All of us were so lucky to have her in our lives. You have my deepest sympathy.

Susie and I are first cousins. We spent a lot of time at each others houses as small children. We were always playing house and at a very young age, her father got her a small accordian. I was a piano student, but still enjoyed her teaching her bigger cousin to play her instrument. I have many fond memories of the hours we spent together as young girls. All the kind words and testiments that I have read here are no surprise. She was a talented student, a devoted mother and wife, a hard working teacher and simply cared about everyone with whom she had contact with. Fly with the angels, Sue, there are many people that are waiting for you to lead their chorus in heaven.

My 10th grader came home and said that heaven gained a special angel. He was right. He never had Sue as a teacher but he and my oldest attended her Devo and Donuts at SLMS on Thursday's. Her love and devotion to those students was not overlooked. My son was right heaven did gain a very special angel. May the God she loved give you comfort at this time.

I am so sad to hear of Mrs. Knipel's passing. She was a lovely woman. Her love of music and life was always evident. I'm so glad that my family got to know Mrs. Knipel through the music program at Springton Lake. She was always smiling. It was always such a joy to run into her when I visited the school. I just read a Teacher Spotlight article written about Mrs. Knipel. It reads: Mrs. Knipel is inspired by Plato, who mused that, "music...gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination...and life to everything." My thoughts and prayers are with her family. She will be missed.

Sue was a very special person, I have had the pleasure of knowing her for over 30 years. First through the Grace Chapel youth group, and then through my children as they had Sue for a teacher, and the wonderful inspiring concerts she gave.

As a teacher you were Alan's mentor when he started at Springton Lake all those years ago and up until the end, you supported him and made him the teacher he is today. As a wife, you guided us through the start of marriage and helped us juggle our careers and new life as husband and wife. As a mother, you helped us navigate the early years of our children's lives and provided balance and insight when we didn't think we could handle any more.
You were so special to us and we will miss you! Thank you for everything.
To Dan, Amanda, Katie, Carrie, Sarah and Justin thank you for sharing Sue with us!

you were one of the most amazing teachers I've ever had. It's rare that you have a teacher that treats all of their students like their own children. You had such a love for you students and for the music you taught. You always made me excited and happy to be in chorus. Even when I was in high school you would look at me like I was a child of yours that was all grown up . I will always remember you teaching me the hand bells or when the choir would sing a song well you would cry or get choked up. We are all going to miss you so much. We love you. Rest in Peace.
