Elaine Knight Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Elaine R. Knight, 84, of Folcroft, PA passed away peacefully on November 12, 2025.
Born January 5, 1941 in Baltimore, MD, she was the daughter of the late Roland and Evelyn (Sheets) Morris. Elaine was preceded in death by her siblings Erma Vane, Donald Morris and Roland Morris, and son-in-law, Robert DeLuca.
Elaine devoted her life to her family and the local community in support of her children. She was a familiar and friendly face to many as a lunch mother at Delcroft Elementary and later as a school bus driver for Southeast Delco School District, always greeting them with a warm smile.
An avid cook and baker, Elaine found joy in sharing her homemade treats with family and friends, and spent countless hours sharing her baking secrets with her granddaughters. She cherished her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were the light of her life, making countless memories on family vacations and day trips to the beach. And by her side through it all was her devoted husband, Jack.
Survivors: Beloved wife of 65 years of Jack L. Knight. Loving mother of David (Kathleen) Knight, Ronald (Tracey) Knight and Cheryl DeLuca. Cherished grandmother of Anne Marie Knight, David Knight Jr. (Jami), Amanda DeLuca and Ray Morgan, and great-grandmother of David Knight III and Jonathan Knight. Dear sister of Betty Cross, Harvey Morris, and Leslie Morris. Aunt to many nieces and nephews.
