Jody Isabel Karcher, 73 of Forks Twp., PA, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, October 28, 2025. Born July 12, 1952, in Manhattan, she was a daughter of the late Gerard and Betty (Pike) Resch. Jody worked for many years as a Facilities Manager for the North Plainfield School District before retiring, and previously spent time with Marriott School Services.
According to her daughter, Jody was a bold, fearless, Harley-riding badass who never apologized for who she was… resilient, loving, and real. She loved hitting the open road on her Harley with her husband and friends, exploring new states and mountain roads. When she wasn’t riding, she enjoyed painting and, most of all, spending time with her beloved granddaughter, Layla.
Jody is survived by her husband John Kaub with whom she shared 28 years; her daughters: Nicole Lettero of Perkasie, PA, Devon Karcher of Forks Twp.; step-children: Brittany Kaub of Easton, Dena Zona (Jim) of Wilson Borough, PA, Steven Kaub in Kentucky; brothers: Paul, John and Kim Resch; 2 grandchildren: Jaime Ayuso and Layla Karcher; a great-granddaughter: Rosalie; 4 step-grandchildren; 8 step-great-grandchildren and her puppies: Jax and Sheba. She was predeceased by a sister: Diane Joyce.
Visitation will be held from 1 to 2:30 PM Saturday, November 1, 2025 in the Ashton Funeral Home, 1337 Northampton St., Easton, PA. Offer online condolences at www.AshtonFuneralHome.com.

Too soon! So sad to learn of Jody’s passing. I have so many great memories of her from years gone by. I admired her big, generous personality and how hospitable and REAL she was. I hope her years after her professional career were filled with lots of love, laughter and adventure. Sincere condolences to her children, grandchildren, and of course her beloved life partner John. May God comfort and strengthen all who loved this unique lady who lived life “out loud” and may she rest in peace in His everlasting presence. 🙏
