Saratoga Springs, NY - Kristy Collins Plummer was called by our Lord on April 19, 2022 surrounded by loved ones including her loving husband, Craig and pug, Jesse. Kristy was born to Donald and Karen Collins on March 11, 1977 the 3rd of 4 children. In 1994, she attended Interlochen Arts Academy and graduated from Saratoga Springs High School in 1995. In 1999, Kristy graduated cum laude with a major in Psychology and a minor in ceramics from Skidmore College. She then attended Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan for one year. Kristy always had a love and talent for art. She was an amazing ceramicist and spent many days and nights in Skidmore’s ceramic studio. Just like her grandmother, Kristy was an outstanding baker. She enjoyed sharing her beautiful creations on her Facebook page, Edible Laughter and Love. She especially loved baking for her niece and nephews some of which referred to her lovingly as Aunt Titi. Her muffins and coffee cake were some of their favorites. Kristy’s love for others showed in her volunteer work with Saratoga Hospice as a patient care volunteer. As long as the weather permitted, Kristy loved to spend time with her husband, Craig, and dog, Jesse, on their boat. They would spend most of the summer staying on their boat on the Hudson River. This was Kristy’s happy place, she loved being on the water with Craig and Jesse. Kristy was truly one of the kindest and “sweetest” people you could ever meet. Even sweeter than the amazing baked goods she made for those she loved. Kristy is survived by her husband Craig Alan Plummer of Greenfield Center, adorable Pug Jesse, her parents D. Alan and Karen Collins of Saratoga Springs, her sister Kara Collins of Saratoga Springs, her brothers Daniel (Andrea) Collins of Saratoga Springs and David (Stephanie) Collins of Greenfield Center, her niece and nephews Dylan Collins, Ethan Collins, Abigail Collins, Godson Carson Collins, Godson Alex Collins, Jayden Collins, and Jesse Collins. Kristy was predeceased by her grandparents, Donald and Betty Collins and Charles and Sylvia Bauersfeld, and her cousin, Michal Longe Matthews all of Saratoga Springs. Kristy’s family would like to thank her hospice nurse Danielle for the care and compassion she gave to Kristy. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00am, Thursday, April 28, 2022 at St. Clement’s Church, 231 Lake Ave, Saratoga Springs. Burial will follow in the family plot in Hudson View Cemetery, 6 Pruyn Hill Rd, Mechanicville, NY.

I am so saddened by the passing of Kristy. She was my student in Ceramics at Saratoga High School and a stand out artist. Kristy also was a joy to have as a student. A definite sweet soul. She gave me one her beautiful vessels which I cherish. It has a prominent spot in my home and will always be a reminder of Kristy. My sincere condolences to her family.

Kristy, Kara, David and Danny were a very big part of our childhood growing up especially when we all spent our family picnics up at Monroe State Park. Kristy was one of the kindest ,sweetest ,and most gentle human beings I’ve ever met in my entire life and I will surely miss her with all my heart. RIP

Hello Collins Family,

I was deeply saddened when I learned of Kristy's passing this afternoon. Some of my fondest memories of growing up involve spending time at the Collins home on Birch Run. Kristy was always cheerful and willing to put up with a bunch of 15 year-olds acting like 15 year-olds. Here's one anecdote that hopefully will make some smile: One sunny afternoon, Kristy was carrying something in a garbage bag from her room and across the walkway to the stairs while Dan and I (and probably the rest of the Saratoga Youth Hockey league) were on our way to Dan's room. I said sarcastically - "Taking out the trash Kristy?" Her response - "No. If I was, you'd be in it." Well played Kristy. Well played!

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Love always,
Geoff
