Cynthia Ann Rose Knapp

Cynthia Ann Rose Knapp, 73, a lifelong Stamford resident, passed away at her home on February 28, 2026. Cynthia was born on November 11, 1952, in Stamford to the late John Joseph and Kathleen Marie Parker Rose.

Cynthia was a graduate of University of Connecticut with a Bachelor of Elementary Education and then continued on to get her Master's of Business Administration from UCONN as well. She was a devout member of St. Bridget's of Ireland church where she attended services every Sunday. She was a hard working member of the CGI team as a passport associate for over 7 years. Before her time at CGI, she worked in the radiology department at Stamford Hospital. Cynthia was known for her great sense of humor, which often sent people into fits of laughter. When not working or at church, she could be found spending time with her family, especially her grandson Benjamin or listening to her idol Paul McCartney and the Beatles. She was a member of MENSA and loved doing the weekly crossword puzzles in the Women's World magazine.

Cynthia is survived by her loving husband of 39 year, Donald Knapp, her son Sean, her daughter Anastasia, her grandson Benjamin Cooper, her sister Barbara Fuller, her two nieces Jessica (Jamey) Fuller and Tammy (Emery) Agria, and 4 great-nephews and 2 great-nieces as well as many other friends and family who will miss her dearly.
