Kristen L. (Maines) Meyer

Kristen L. (Maines) Meyer, 46, fell into the loving arms of Jesus on Sunday February 8th, 2026 at home in Pine City, NY after a long 7-year battle with breast cancer.

Kristen is survived by her parents Robert “Mike” and Barbara (Brown) Maines of Pine City, NY and her sister Kelly, with fiancé Jason of Beaver Falls PA, and their children Marcus, Nathaniel, Olivia, Lilly, and Colton, along with several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Kristen retired from the Chemung County Nursing Facility in 2019 after almost 15 years of service as a CNA. She had a special calling to care for the sick and elderly, and became close to those who she took care of. When one of her residents passed away she always attended the services.

Kristen always dreamed of owning a horse growing up and her dream was realized when her horse Clark came into her life. She participated in several riding competitions with him over the last few years winning several awards and ribbons. Clark was her saving grace and her safe place when things got rough with treatment, side effects, and disappointments when treatments failed.

Her constant and loyal companion Luke, her Labrador retriever came into her life in 2023 they went everywhere together and Luke especially looked forward to his weekly trips to McDonald's for french fries. He was fiercely loyal and devoted to her and when treatments kept her down for days he never left her side.

Kristen enjoyed photography, tending to her plants, rummaging through antique stores and crafts fairs, fishing with her dad, and of course her first love of horseback riding.

Kristen was a very sweet, loving, caring and forgiving young lady and she never lost that even towards the end of her life.

Her parents would like to express their gratitude to the doctors RN’s, NP’s, social workers, and the rest of the staff at the Falck Cancer Center and UR of Rochester for taking such good care of her over the last 7 years  and will forever be grateful for their kindness and compassion.

The memorial service to honor Kristen’s life will be held at the conclusion of the visitation at 4:00 PM on Saturday, February 21st at the church.
