Obituary of Rebecca Jo (Klotzbach) Harris

Rebecca Jo (Klotzbach) Harris, 45, of Chantilly, Virginia, passed away on Saturday, December 27, 2025.

Born on October 4, 1980, in Washington Township, New Jersey, Rebecca was the beloved daughter of Karl and Susan (Rowe) Klotzbach. The Klotzbach family later moved to the North Coventry area of Pennsylvania, where Rebecca grew up surrounded by the love of her family, as a cherished daughter and niece who brought joy to all who knew her.

Rebecca was a 1998 graduate of St. Pius X High School and went on to study psychology, earning her Bachelor of Science degree from Rosemont College. She was a gifted and accomplished violinist with many talents, but her greatest joy and proudest accomplishment was being a mother. Rebecca embraced motherhood wholeheartedly, cherished every moment with her children and always knowing she wanted to have children early in life. She also shared her nurturing spirit through her work as a teacher’s assistant at an elementary school in Virginia.

In 2014, Rebecca married Alan Harris, and together they built a loving and stable home for their five children. Their life together began in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and later continued in Chantilly, Virginia. Together, they celebrated 11 years of marriage, creating a home filled with love, devotion, and family.

Rebecca leaves behind her deeply loving and devoted husband, Alan Harris, her five beloved children: Hailey, Max, Cole, Ryan, and Sadie. She is also survived by her loving parents, Karl and Susan Klotzbach; her brothers, Karl Klotzbach Jr. (Lauren) and Eric Klotzbach (Teale); her extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins; and the father of her children, Michael McDonald.
