Kristy L. Pinto-Marko 1980-2025

Kristy was born Nov. 2, 1980, in Warren, to Joseph and Liane Pinto. Kristy grew up surrounded by her loving family alongside her older brother, Michael Pinto.

As a young girl, she played many years for Burbank Girls Softball, performed numerous dance recitals and spent countless hours playing with her dolls. Kristy graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in 1999, where she enjoyed playing trumpet in symphonic, jazz and marching band. Kristy went on to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice from Kent State University in 2005.

She met the love of her life, Brian C. Marko, and they joined hands in marriage at First United Methodist Church in Warren on Oct. 17, 2010.

Kristy held many jobs, at all of which she was well-loved by her co-workers, but most recently, she was employed by HearingLife as a sales specialty consultant. Kristy loved spending time with her husband, Brian, more than anything. Kristy and Brian loved watching movies, going to concerts and adventuring into exotic cuisines. Kristy loved all things fashion and beauty — her clothing collection was impressive, and she always reminded everyone that “everything comes back in style.” She also loved watching and feeding the wildlife, particularly the neighborhood squirrels, from her home office. Most of all, Kristy adored spending time with her family every chance she got, making sure to capture the moment as the designated videographer at every family Christmas. Kristy particularly enjoyed being her nieces, Isabella and Madeline Pinto, number one fan, and couldn’t have been prouder to have never missed a single one of their dance recitals.

Kristy’s family will miss her so deeply and carry her memory close to their hearts forever.

Kristy is survived by her husband, Brian C. Marko; her parents, Joseph and Liane Pinto; maternal grandparents, Charles and Shirley Peterson; brother, Michael (Mackenzie) Pinto; nieces, Isabella and Madeline Pinto; best friend, Amber Border; mother-in-law, Ramona Reed; aunt, Gina (Angus) Macaulay; uncle, Jerry Pinto; and several cousins.

Kristy was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Joseph and Ila Jean Pinto; father-in-law, Eugene Marko; uncle and aunt, Daniel and Kimberly Peterson; aunt, Judy Aleman; and beloved “fur babies,” Dago and Humphrey.
