Joyce KNAPP Obituary

KNAPP, Joyce "Memaw" was born on August 30, 1938 in Pontiac, Michigan where she spent her childhood. It was there where she met the love of her life, Kenneth. They married in 1955 and went on to have five children. From those five children, they gained 15 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren from who they earned the nicknames "Memaw" and "Papa". In 1987, Kenneth and Joyce moved to Dunedin, Florida where they would spend the rest of their lives with Kenneth passing in 2008 and Joyce passing on July 28, 2024. They are now together forever. Joyce was a loving and gentle woman who had the bluest eyes and softest smile. She loved animals, especially dogs. Joyce enjoyed cooking, playing bingo and cards, gardening, crafts of any sort, and most of all spending time with her family. Joyce was the type of person that would give freely and loved volunteering. Joyce "Memaw" Knapp will be sorely missed by all that knew and loved her. Graveside service will be held at Curlew Hills Memory Gardens on August 30, 2024 at 9 am, 1750 Curlew Rd., Palm Harbor, FL 34683.
