Kathleen G. Storm

Kathleen (Kathy) Goggins Storm, age 59, of Wilmington, Delaware, died on Monday, January 5, 2026, at her home. She lived with metastatic breast cancer for 7 years, going through many treatments and a couple clinical trials to have more time with her family.

She was an IHM cross country coach from 2012 to 2016 and was an active member of her family book club. She enjoyed going on girls trips with her friends and beach vacations in the summer with extended family. She also loved spending time at her house in Hollywood Beach, Maryland.

She is survived by her husband, Matthew Storm, whom she was married to for 33 years; her children, Elizabeth Storm (Abigail), Holly Storm, and Daniel Storm; her grandchildren, Charles Storm and Graham Storm; her brothers, Daniel Goggins and Jeffrey Goggins; and many more family and friends. She was predeceased by her parents Marjorie Goggins and C. Richard Goggins and her brother Michael Goggins.

    Sending deepest condolences to the Storm and Goggins families. Kathy was my first cousin on her dad’s side and was like my sister. She was a warrior through her cancer battle. Her love and light will be sorely missed by so many. I, personally, have lost a piece of me. Heaven gained a bright light Monday night. May she rest in peace now.

    I was deeply saddened to learn of Kathy's passing. Kathy and I shared the wonderful experience of studying abroad together through Saint Joseph’s University’s London program, and I have such warm memories of that time. She was always so sweet and kind - that genuine warmth was something special about her. My heart goes out to her family during this difficult time. She will be remembered fondly by those of us fortunate enough to have known her.
