Carin Debra Gaines, cherished friend, devoted colleague, and beloved family member, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 24th, 2025, at the age of 70, in Atlanta, Georgia. Born on a Sunday, March 27th, 1955, in the vibrant city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Carin's life was a testament to resilience, commitment, and service.

A long-time resident of Atlanta, Carin dedicated many years of her professional life working as an Administrative Assistant at the University of Pittsburgh. Known for her diligent work ethic and remarkable organizational skills, she was an integral part of the university community. Colleagues and students alike valued her warmth, kindness, and the unwavering support she offered.

Outside of work, Carin was a beacon of positivity among her friends and family. Her infectious laughter, coupled with a generous spirit, left an indelible mark on everyone she encountered. Whether sharing stories, lending a helping hand, or engaging in community activities, Carin's presence was both impactful and far-reaching.

Her life will be celebrated with a service at Gregory B. Levett and Son Funeral Home - Flat Shoals Location in Decatur, Georgia, on Sunday, December 7th, 2025, from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm. This celebration of life is not merely a farewell but a moment to honor and cherish the countless memories Carin has imprinted upon our hearts.
