Elizabeth "Liz" M. Knightly Obituary (1937 - 2021)

Surrounded by the love of her adoring family, Liz peacefully passed away at home on January 7, 2021, following an extended illness. Liz grew up in West Seattle, graduated from West Seattle High School in 1955 and Pacific Lutheran University. She became a flight attendant at Pacific Northern Airlines which led her to Alaska where she met her husband Dave. Their love of travel inspired them to create what became a successful travel business, which in-turn allowed them to travel the world together. Bunny, as those closest to her affectionately called her, was a positive, kind and loving soul, with a radiate personality that lit up the room. She was deeply devoted to her family and a cherished friend to many. Her contagious and heartwarming laughter will be deeply missed. She loved splitting her time between her favorites places of Seattle, Maui and Chelan. But she was happiest simply spending time with her friends and family, drinking a glass of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay and eating a big bowl of Cherry Garcia ice cream. Preceded in death by her husband Dave, who was the love of her life; her parents, William and Grace (Wardley) Wallace; and brother, Tim Wallace. She is survived by her children Mark David Knightly (Jolene) and Michelle Elizabeth Gilmore (Jimmy); grandchildren Joey and Alix; great grandchild JoJo; sibling Bob Wallace (Eva) In lieu of flowers remembrances may be directed to St. Therese Catholic Academy 900 35th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122
