Father: Commodore Roosevelt Becraft [2557] (1905-1965)
Mother: Margaret Kunikunda Weinkauf [2560] (1903-1976)
Katie was born in Mishawaka, Indiana on December 15, 1935 to the late Commodore and Margaret (Weinkauf) Becraft. She was a graduate of the 1953 class of Mishawaka High School, known for its active long running alumni group. She retained a close friendship with her high school best friend, Jan (Brown) Nagy, and they still traveled to the Four Winds casino in New Buffalo as often as they could.
On July 25, 1959, Katie married Dale K Fozo from South Bend. He preceded her in death in 2012. All of her siblings, Joseph and Franklin Becraft, and Sherry Sheets preceded her in death.
Katie and Dale settled on the west side of South Bend and raised their four children.

Katie loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and wanted to be kept up-to-date on the details of their lives. She also loved sports; was a big Cubs and Notre Dame Women's basketball fan, and recounted each game.
