From the day she was born, Sylvia had a fighting spirit and became a warrior for Christ. She had a servant's heart and touched an unknowable amount of lives. Sylvia was a business owner, retired Duval County school board employee, and dedicated couponer. Sylvia was a devoted wife, mother, and Lola. Her greatest joy was in loving and caring for her family. Sylvia's magnetic personality drew people to her and she left each of them better for having known her. She always had a listening ear, an encouraging word, and a heartfelt prayer for anyone in need.

Preceding Sylvia and preparing a place for her with the Lord were her parents, Donald Edward Knapp, Sr of Ohio and Geraldine Hoover Knapp of Pennsylvania.

Sylvia's smile, spirit, and love remain with her beautiful grandchildren Maleah Kai Tagnipez (8), Penelope Elizabeth Distler (5), Ezekiel Merrick Tagnipez (3), Amelia Lynn Distler (2), and Sophia Jane Distler (7 months).  Sylvia's faith in family is strengthened by her siblings Raymond Knapp (Sheila), Russel Knapp (Dianne), Susan Knapp, Shirley Knapp, Donald Knapp Jr, Sara Knapp, Florence Keeton Knapp, and Lynette Foss (John).
