Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Kathleen Marie (Seguss) Varney, “Kathy,” 63, passed away on April 26, 2025, at VNA Hospice House in Vero Beach, Florida. She was born in Washington, D.C., and moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as a young adult.
Kathy grew up in the Chevy Chase neighborhood of Washington, D.C., was proud to be from there and a devout Washington Redskins fan her entire life. Kathy graduated from the Art Institute of Florida, Lauderdale, and was a very talented photographer. Her most joyous time behind the camera was capturing concerts, one of her favorite pastimes. She loved music as it spoke to her soul, and she often felt a closeness to the musicians behind the music. She loved animals deeply and often found herself with many strays that made their way into her life.
Kathy was a free spirit, passionate, and loved deeply.
She is survived by her daughter, Lauren Varney Naughton (Dylan); her granddaughter, Hailey Naughton; her brother, Andrew Seguss; sister, Deborah Denton-Sterns; half-sister, Linda Schulz; and many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.
She was predeceased by her parents, Hilda Llompart Seguss, Russell Seguss, and her sister Lorraine.
“Keep a fire burning in your eye
Pay attention to the open sky
You never know what will be coming down” – Jackson Browne

This paints a beautiful picture of Kathy. I remember all her photos of the Washington Redskins from on the field. She was so excited to be able to be that close to the players & game. And I have so many wonderful photos & memories that Kathy took for me. I know she in heaven enjoying the angels sing now. Beautiful music for a beautiful soul! ✝️

We met 42 yrs ago & became such good friends. We went through a lot together. Waiting on your house you all lived with us. We were taking a walk when I realized you were in labor, waiting at the hospital for your beautiful Lauren to be born, My kids helped teach her to walk. Even after we moved from FL, the trips back to visit, you & Lauren coming up for our 25th anniversary, You took all the pictures and made us beautiful albums. The last time I talked to you was April 22nd and the last thing we said was I Love You I am going to miss you my sweet friend. Give my “Patrick” a big hug for me. Until we meet again, Rest in Heaven Kathy you will be missed so much. My heartfelt condolences, prayers and love for Lauren and family and for all of us who loved her.
