Kathryn Jean Focht, devoted to family
Kathryn Jean Focht (nee Latch), 66, of Lewes, formerly of Belmont Hills, Pa., made her final trip over the rainbow Monday, Jan. 13, 2020, surrounded by her loving family at Delaware Hospice, Milford, after an extensive battle with Multiple Sclerosis.
Kathy was born to Frank and Mary Winifred June 2, 1953, in Broomall, Pa. She resided with her parents and siblings, Allen, Sharlene and Leslie, in Newtown Square, Pa., and graduated from Marple-Newtown High School in 1971. Kathy wed the love of her life, John, Sept. 14, 1974, and had five sons, Otis, Jon Bryan (Robin), Scott, Keith (Angelina), and Kevin (Melissa), whom she loved fiercely. Kathy was also a treasured grandmother to Maximillian, Xavier, Gianna, Giselle, Daryn, Dylan, Henry, Wesley, Madelyn and Madison; and is survived by many adoring nieces, nephews, friends, and extended family.
In addition to her immense love for and devotion to her family, Kathy will be remembered for her exuberant personality, her wonderful sense of humor, her love for boating and the beach, and her penchant for all things “Wizard of Oz.”
