Debrah Pirinelli

Debrah I. Pirinelli (Gaines) 74, beloved Wife, Mother, and Grandmother passed away on October 3, 2025 after a long fought battle with Cancer. She lived for her family and made all of their days beautiful. She survived by her loving husband Christopher Pirinelli of 35 years and her devoted daughter and son-in-law, Kristen and Matthew Nunn and their two daughters Jessica Kallen Williams (Nunn), wife of Lucas Williams and Kennedy Melissa Nunn.

Born in Niagara Falls, NY, in 1951, she was the loving daughter of the late John D. and Grace Gaines (U'ren), who were very proud of her. She was the only sister to brothers, Doug (recently passed away in 2024), Roger, and Rick Gaines. She grew up in the Town of Niagara and was a graduate of Niagara Wheatfield High School. After graduation, she married her high school sweetheart the late Kenneth Fiegel. Her daughter, Kristen Michelle was born in 1974. Three years later, Kenny's life ended unexpectedly leaving her to become a strong, hard working, amazing single parent. She then went on to further her education by obtaining an Associates Degree in Accounting from Niagara County Community College, in Sanborn, NY. She enjoyed working in accounting as a bookkeeper and excelled professionally.

In 1990, Deb fell in love and married Christopher Pirinelli. Shortly thereafter they moved their family to Georgia and began the next phase of their happily ever after. Debrah's most cherished moments were spent surrounded by family and friends. She was most proud of being an amazing wife, mother, and grandmother. Her family was her joy, and she spent all of her days with them enriching their lives.

She loved cooking for her family and hosting gatherings in her beautiful home in Dallas, Georgia. She was spontaneous and loved traveling to new destinations with family and friends. She especially loved spending time at Walt Disney World with her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughters, several times a year. Being the first one there and the last to leave, she brought joy and happiness to everyone she encountered. When not traveling, she was most content at home with her husband and her beloved dog Sammy enjoying the weather, pool, and BBQ with family and friends. She also survived by many cousins, nieces, nephews, god-daughters, and good friends all of whom will miss her greatly.

As a devout Christian, her faith was all encompassing. She attended Bethany Christian Church with her husband and family. Her love of the Lord and beautiful, kind spirit was felt by everyone she encountered. Her radiant smile was contagious. She was a selfless caring soul who always wanted to help those around her whether she knew them or not.
