Virginian-Pilot  April 22, 2010
NORFOLK - Victoria Noel "Tori" Knapp died April 18, 2010, at Sentara Norfolk 
General Hospital. Tori blest everyone she met. She came into this world facing 
challenges some would consider insurmountable and taught all of us the beauty of a 
life lived with joy and love. To meet Tori was to be in the presence of the 
angels.

Victoria was the daughter of Richard N. and Janice Knapp and the granddaughter of 
the late Johnnie J. Johnson, Richard E. Knapp and Joyce Bell Knapp. Her 
celebration of life will be continued by her parents, her grandmother, Pina 
Margiotti Johnson, and her beloved brother and best friend, John Richard Knapp. 
Her spirit and love will continue to guide her Zia Maria Margiotti Veniero, great-
aunts, Madeline Jones, Celeste Duplantis, Ben Bell and Yvonne Thomas. She is also 
in the hearts of her aunts and uncles, Sandra and Lee Johnston, Brenda and Terry 
Frederick, Jerry and Barbara Johnson and their children, Heather, Anita, Olivia, 
Genevieve, Bary, Lindsey and Joseph. Tori's love extended throughout her Italian 
family, Anna Maria, Patrizia and Raffaella.

Tori graduated from Maury High School in 2001 and attended TCC, Norfolk. She was a 
Sunday school teacher, usher and participant in the young people's program at 
Sacred Heart Church. She worked at Executive Health and Fitness Center, where her 
boss, Vicky Saxby, became her beloved mentor and friend. Her nanny and friend for 
life, Carolyn Artis, held her and loved her, along with her parents and brother 
through years of life-threatening battles.

Tori's legacy, for all of us, will remain forever imprinted upon our lives, along 
with her smile, bright, twinkling eyes, dimples and joie de vivre.

Her funeral will be held at Sacred Heart Church today, April 22, at noon. There 
was a wake held Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the church.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Mary's Home for Disabled 
Children Foundation Inc., 6171 Kempsville Circle, Norfolk, VA 23502 or online at
