Ita Sienknecht Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She is preceded in death by her parents, Worley and Ita McNabb; beloved husband, Dr. E. Charles Sienknecht, Jr.; one daughter and three brothers.
She is survived and will be greatly missed by daughter, Caroline Adams Napier and husband Ernie; grandchildren, Emily N. Greenwood and husband Matt, Joe Napier, Darian McBrayer, Amelia M. Olivaris and husband Glen; brother, Stephen McNabb; sisters, Ann M. Crisp, Nell McNabb and Wallis K. Martz and husband Stan; stepchildren, Martha S. Trainer, Dr. Charles W.

There will be no public services per her wishes. To my family and friends: Have a party! But please be quiet, I am finally getting some good sleep. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in her memory to Young-Williams Animal Center (https://www.young-williams.org/support/one-time/) where she and her precious dog locked eyes and unconditional love blossomed.

Ita Ray was my neighbor and she taught me how to play MahJongg. She would often say, "Vickie, you'll have to do better!" We were together when we found her precious, four-legged friend Ernie.
