The Citrus County Chamber of Commerce honored 40 young leaders at its monthly luncheon in Inverness on Friday, November 13, 2026. Among the honorees was Kristine “Kay” Torcuator, who died earlier this year. Her mother, Anna Torcuator, became emotional while reflecting on her daughter’s life during the event.
Chamber board member Tiarra Alexander read Torcuator’s achievements to the room. Torcuator moved to Citrus County at age 10 and graduated from Lecanto High School. She earned a master’s degree in public relations and founded K & A Media Consulting to help others succeed. Alexander said Torcuator served as a Chamber ambassador and was known as the “selfie queen of Citrus County.”
Torcuator also served on the Inverness Business Leaders board. She gave her time to Continuity of Care, the Family Resource Center and fundraisers across the county, often with her mother by her side. By the time Torcuator was recognized, 39 other honorees had already accepted their 40 Under Forty awards.
