Pamela "Pam" Lynn Prifogle

Pamela Lynn (Vint) Prifogle passed away on Wednesday June 25, 2025, after a long battle with cancer. She was born on April 19, 1956, in the town of Kokomo. She lived in Kokomo with her loving husband Steve for 31 years. She passed away at home, as peacefully as possible, surrounded by her family.

Pamela retired from Haynes International in 2016 after working for 36 years for the company. She worked hard her entire life, and she enjoyed games and fun with family and friends whenever possible. She and her husband Steve enjoyed traveling with friends and family, traveling to multiple countries and locations whenever they could. They enjoyed going to tropical locations, visiting remote areas and seeing the sights around the world.

Pam was known for her strength, generosity, and love of life. When Pam received her stage 4 cancer diagnosis in 2023, her strength was evident when she never complained, never asked “why me”, and actually consoled those around her while dealing with this family catastrophe. Her generosity was well known to those who knew her best. She helped neighbors, donated to charities, and privately did what she could to help others whenever she could, not asking for recognition or even thanks. In fact, in lieu of flowers or other gifts she asked that individuals donate to Urban Outreach which helps local families in the community. She wouldn’t like it, but please make a donation in her name to share the love and care she had for others one more time even after she has passed. If you cannot make a donation in her name, please perform an act of kindness in your community to honor the love she shared for those around her.

Pam was preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Delores Vint.

Pam is survived by her husband, Steve Prifogle; daughter, Megan (Chris) Refner of Auburn; 3 grandsons, Atticus, Silas, and Titus Refner of Auburn; stepson, Todd Prifogle of Kokomo; siblings, Cheryl (Dave) Duncan of Kokomo, Elaine Maddox of Columbus, and Kenneth Vint of Florida; several nieces and nephews that she loved dearly. She was extremely proud of her three grandchildren, a current service member, a college freshman, and a future veterinarian.

The entire family wants to thank and honor her surviving husband Steve who for the last 2 years has dedicated himself to caring for his great love. Up to the very end, he refused to leave her side, putting his own care after hers.

Pam wished to be cremated without any ceremony or fuss, so there will be no viewing or funeral service. She told her family she would be “okay” with a party in her honor once the pain of her passing has subsided. Pam will be greatly missed, forever loved, and always immortalized in her family for the caring and kindness that will reverberate for generations to come in her lineage. We miss and love you, mom, wife, sister, aunt, grandmother, and friend.

Stout & Son Funeral Home in Russiaville has been entrusted with cremation.
