Dianna Knapp Obituary
Dianna Lynn Knapp, age 64 of Warsaw, passed away at home after battling cancer for a short time. She was strong-willed and fought cancer bravely before succumbing to the disease on December 31, 2022.
Born in Burlington, IA on August 12, 1958, she was the daughter of Donald Torrence and Marylou (Waterman) Knuckolls. She was a graduate of East High in Des Moines, IA and later from Columbia Basin College.
More personally, Dianna is remembered for her strong work ethic. She was a CNA in a doctor's office and later worked at an Assisted Living Center. She was an animal lover and especially loved seals. She liked Elvis, classic country and Cher. She also enjoyed Deadliest Animals on TV, cross-stich and crochet.
Those who survive with memories to cherish include three children: Joe (Molly Bauer-Yandell) Torrence of Warsaw, Mylisha (John) Bennett of Warsaw and Deek (Katy) Dodge of Richland, IA; grandchildren: Anthony Torrence, Blake Torrence, Jeremy Dodge, Sara Dodge, Terence Bennett, Aleena Bennett, Alex Knapp and Axton Knapp; siblings: Roxanne Cagwin and Michael Knockolls. She is also survived by a significant other, Edd Saunders and by her cat, Samson. She was preceded in passing by her parents and her grandparents.
The family is grieving privately at this time. Later, a family-led celebration of life will be held at the Courts of Colfax in Warsaw on Saturday, February 11, 2023 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Titus Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Warsaw is entrusted with Dianna's care.
