Jozann Clark Knittel passed September 1, 2019 at the memory care facility in San Diego, where she resided.  Jozann was born in Salem, Oregon, 1935 to Virginia and Francis Clark. She was educated in the Salem school system and married her high school sweetheart, Hub in 1953. They traveled for four years, lived in Alaska for two. Following his US Air Force assignments. They returned to Oregon and began their family.

Jozann was a great mother, nurturing their two children thru their college years.   Upon completing that assignment she wanted to "Travel to Places I have Never Been".  She worked in the travel industry for over thirty years. As a tour guide in San Diego, later an upscale cruise ship line and became an experienced advisor for travel to the continent of Africa. She was an officer for the San Diego Chapter of the Association to Promote Travel to Africa, APTA. She subsequently took each of the Grandchildren, at their age 14, to 'a different cultural experience' in Africa.

Her love of people, nature, animals, and history drove her to become an excellent photographer. Notably, She hiked to the Diane Fossey and Jane Goodall mountain sites to sit and photograph the gorillas.  She and her husband toured many of the countries in Africa, and the World.

She was a cancer survivor but got bit by the Alzheimer's in late 1990s. She has now fulfilled, as her final wish, "To Travel to Places I have never been" and is surely Welcome there. She was an 'Amazing Women" and will be missed but remembered by all who knew her!
