Paula Saporito Knight of Marietta, Georgia passed away on July 2, 2021 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 71 years old. Paula was born in Houston, Texas, the first of four children to Paul and Maryann Saporito. She attended Sam Houston High School in Houston and Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas.

During her time at Stephen F. Austin, she heard about the opportunities for travel for flight attendants. She opted to pursue that dream and went to work as a flight attendant for Delta Air Lines. Paula was assigned to New Orleans after earning her wings as a flight attendant for Delta Air Lines where she met a Delta pilot named Charles Knight. They later married and moved to the Atlanta area where she continued to work for Delta until she and Chuck started a family. Paula was a Cub Scout Den Mother and a past president of Delta Clipped Wings. She continued her passion for travel after leaving Delta, exploring destinations across the country and around the globe with her family and friends. She also enjoyed playing tennis and cycling, participating with Chuck in the Bicycle Ride Across Georgia (BRAG).

Paula is survived by her husband of 48 years, Chuck, her two sons David (Melissa) of Basalt, Colorado and Stephen (Heidi) of Westminster, Colorado, her grandsons that she adored, Luca and Miles, her sister Susie of San Antonio, Texas, and her brother Tony of Houston, Texas.
