Daryl J. Forth

Daryl was born to Harold and Marjorie (Black) Young of Gardner, Massachusetts on October 31, 1946.

She is survived by her loving husband of 53 years, Ronald Forth, her sister Diana Clark, her children; Charissa Kane, Jared Forth, Heather Milazzo, and Hilary Gaffney. Her 9 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

She graduated from Gardner High School and UMASS Amherst with a major in French. She did her graduate studies in Paris earning a Master’s in Teaching with Assumption College.

Daryl studied French and taught in the Longmeadow and Sandwich school systems before settling at Cape Cod Academy in Osterville. She was a French teacher at CCA for over 30 years before retiring as head of the language department in 2008.

Daryl was a lifelong learner with a passion for language and education. Her love of literature is evident in her vast collection of books and her active library account. Daryl’s devotion to foreign language led her to continue to study languages other than French including Spanish, German, and Chinese.

Daryl stayed busy as a member of the Massachusetts Mothers of Twins Club where she held several offices including state president. She was a faithful member and active volunteer at the First Church of Christ in Sandwich.

Daryl and Ron loved Cape Cod and Maine. She loved visits from her children and grandchildren, the ocean, Victorian architecture, and lighthouses.

Per Daryl’s request, there will be a private family service.

In lieu of flowers, we invite you to honor one of her favorite charities: The Cape Cod Times Needy Fund or Marines Toys for Tots.
