Barbara Jane Knapp, 68, of El Dorado Arkansas passed away on Monday, December 8, 2025, at South Arkansas Regional Medical Center, El Dorado, Arkansas. She was born on August 19, 1957, to Bernell and Lois Benkie in LaPorte, Indiana. Barbara was an avid watcher of games shows and the food network. But her passion of television programs could be found on the jewelry channel, and what wonderful treasures she could find on that channel. Barbara was a collector of blue and white teapots that she could always find when out traveling or shopping. She enjoyed collecting rocks that caught her eye as well as enjoying her plants and flowers. But most of all she loved her grandbabies and grand fur babies. She was an avid cat lady and loved spoiling them.

Preceded in death by her parents, Bernell Benkie and Lois (Howell) Benkie Crites and her husband, Dennis Knapp.

Survived by her son, Steven (Crystal) Knapp, of El Dorado, Arkansas; daughter, Brandy (Shane) Davis of Woodstock, Georgia; sister, Bonnie (Joe) Faulstich of Crown Point, Indiana and Connie (Dick) Bohling of Calabash, North Carolina; brother, Terry Benkie of Wanatah, Indiana; grandchildren, Ashlyn (Drew) Dekutowski, Madalyn Davis, and Peyton Davis; and numerous Nieces, nephews and friends.
