Kristy Kay Prine, 52, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, passed away on November 12, 2026. Born October 28, 1974, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Kristy was the daughter of the late Robert G. Girton and Cathy A. (Banks) Emmons.
Kristy’s life was defined by steadfast devotion to those she loved. A loyal and kind-hearted presence, she gave of herself freely, meeting others with warmth and sincerity, and offering help without hesitation. To know Kristy was to encounter a spirit that welcomed people easily—she truly did not know a stranger.
Kristy was a dedicated homemaker to her children, and her care for her family was evident in the everyday ways she showed up, supported, and nurtured. Her devotion extended across generations, and her love was a steady foundation for her family.
Kristy also found joy in crafts, embracing creativity with the same patient care that marked so much of her life. Those quiet moments of making and creating reflected the gentle generosity she carried into all she did.
Kristy is survived by her daughters, Kara Cassaday of Fort Wayne, Brittany Turnbow of Fort Wayne, Tiffany Turnbow of Fort Wayne and Amber (Jacob) McCue of Muncie; her sisters, Angela Fromm of Fort Wayne, Susan (Andy) Collins of Kenosha, WI, and Jodi Houston of Fort Wayne; 11 grandchildren, Payton, Abel, Adriel, Milo, Ada, Lucas, Chloe, Oliver, Carson, Brooklyn, and Jacob Junior; 1 great-granddaughter, Adelynn.
She was preceded in death by her daughter, Anna Turnbow; mother Cathy; and father Robert.
