Kristen Anne "Smurf" Foraker, age 41, of Townsend, DE, passed away on Thursday, July 31, 2025.

Born in Wilmington, DE on June 27, 1984, she was a daughter of Betty L. (Faust) and Robert T. Foraker II. Kristen was a William Penn graduate and went on to graduate from Delaware Tech with an A.A.S degree in Early Childhood Care and Education on May 18, 2005 and furthered her education with an A.A.S in Criminal Justice on December 15, 2007.

Kristen excelled in hospitality throughout her life. She was a Customer Service Representative, Food Service Manager, and a Manager-in-Training at Wawa, most recently working at the Boyd's Corner location. She was a member of AA and her addiction was her enemy. Kristen was still always looking for a way to help others; she was a Gift of Life donor to help those who are in need.

Kristen was preceded in death by her only sister, Melissa L. Foraker; her aunt, Karen Faust; and grandparents, Betty and Carl Faust and Robert Foraker. She is survived by her mother, Betty L. Foraker; father, Robert T. Foraker II; grandmother, Carolyn C. Foraker; aunts, Yvonne Coleman (Don), Carol Johnson (Gary) and Helen Kunder (Bill); uncles, Jeff Foraker (Bobbi) and Carl Faust (Ann); boyfriend, Rich Gouge; as well as many cousins and many friends.

A visitation for family and friends will be held from 11 am until 1 pm on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Home, 275 East Main Street, Middletown, DE. Services and interment will be held privately.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Kristen's memory to the Gift of Life Donor Program, make checks out to "Transplant Foundation" and mail to: Gift of Life Donor Program, 401 N. 3rd. St., Philadelphia, PA 19123 or online by clicking here.
