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 excelled in hospitality throughout her life.

Kristen had a heart of gold. She would’ve given the shirt off her back to help another person. I know she is no longer suffering.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope your minds and hearts find peace.

She is kept alive through all of us. She’s no longer in pain. She turned into such an amazing woman. She loved everyone, especially children and animals. She’s with her killer (pup) now. Let me know if the family needs anything

I was lucky to have met Kristen online many years back and continued a friendship throughout the years. We met in person once and I remember her having this amazing personality and she was a very lovely person. I hadn’t seen her since and I always wanted to visit again but it never happened. I’m going to miss you, Smurf. Rest easy ❤️

I Don’t know what to say.. I was close friends with both her and Mrlissa and I never knew a heart could be torn apart so many times.. I just pray she is at rest, she deserves that and so much more.. Her heart was more precious then any stone or metal this world could provide. At least her and her sister are finally together..

I am so sorry Bob ..and for your wife ..addiction is a horrible monster. I lost my brother at the age of 30 after battling his addiction..but as it says on his gravestone, “Free at last”. Sending my love and prayers.
