Kathryn was a lifelong resident of Philadelphia. Her career as an executive assistant spanned from Temple University to Delaware Investment Group until her retirement. Her most treasured role in that time was as stay at home mom. Kathryn raised her family on Elbridge Street in Northeast Philadelphia. She was a loving mother to Kathryn Mary Payne and son-in-law Michael and was also the proudest Nanny to Colin John and Aidan Charles. She enjoyed dancing with the love of her life, John, a great surf ’n turf dinner with family and movies and dinner out with her girlfriends. She made many special memories during her days at Bensalem Swim Club and summer vacations at the Royal Sands in North Wildwood. She loved spending time with her grandsons and cherished time spent with her family, creating memories with them that will last forever in their hearts and minds.
Kathryn was predeceased by her devoted brother Harry T. Ford and her best friend and sister, Karen Skubin (Ford). Kathryn is survived by her adoring brother Ken Ford (the late Ann), and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
