Tinamarie (Tina) Carlin, age 58, was healed from her long and painful illness when she was called home to be with her Lord and Savior on March 16, 2025.

Tina was born Tinamarie Myers on April 21, 1966 in Cogan Station, PA. She was the daughter of Harry Otto "Harry O" Myers and Dolores "Dolly" Lapka Myers. Tina grew up helping her dad on his small dairy farm and was actively involved in FFA.  It was on this farm that she fell in love with farming and knew she wanted to spend her life in the country where she could be surrounded by the beauty of God's creation. She graduated from Williamsport high school in 1984 and spent her "free" time working at Agway in Williamsport, she later worked at the Agway in Tunkhannock and Laceyville, PA.  Tina married the love of her life, Gerald Carlin of Meshoppen, PA on December 3, 1988. Tina helped Gerald on their farm in South Auburn, PA.

Tina was active in her Church, New Hope Ministries in West Auburn, she was the "sunshine lady" and always enjoyed worshipping and spending time with her church family, who all meant so much to her. Tina operated the retail farm store at Carlin Farm from the time they opened in 2012 until September of 2024, where she enjoyed interacting with customers and was dearly loved by many. Tina especially enjoyed when the neighbor kids would come in to visit her.  They mostly wanted ice cream but they enjoyed seeing her also.

Tina was active in several farm organizations including ProAg, ARMPPA, NFFC, Family Farm Defenders and most recently Farm Women United, where she always advocated for farmers and consumers alike.

Tina enjoyed crafts and always loved to make homemade Christmas presents as they were truly a gift from the heart.  She would often make gift baskets and other little crafts that she sold in their store. She loved spending time with her grandchildren on the farm, and she loved to hear their giggles and laughs as they played on the swing set out behind the house.

Tina is survived by her loving husband, Gerald Carlin; her son, Caleb Carlin; her daughter, Lydia Potter (Matthew): her sister, Ruthanne Snell (Tommy); her brothers and sisters-in-law, David Carlin (Elizabeth), Don Carlin, Connie Vunderink (John), and Paul Carlin (Sue).  She is also survived by her cousins, Bruce Barto, Rick Barto and Don Barto;  her nieces, Sarah Strohl, her husband, JD and children, Kyleigh, (who was Auntie's Munchkin and held a special place in her heart) and Isaiah, Emily Huizenga, her husband Jim, Roxanne Turner, her husband, Darren and their children, Gabe and Annabelle; her  nephews Tom Miller, his wife Nichole and their children Kaelyn, Dylan and Mason, Noah Douglass, his wife, Catherine and their children, Grace, Clara and Jeremiah; and her grandchildren, Gracelynn, Garrett, Aurora and Ariel.  Tina was also survived by several other bonus children and grandchildren, including Ashley Gesek (Chloe and Isabella) and Deanna Carlin (Coltyn, Colby, Jeremiah and Elijah) and several others who affectionately referred to her as Mama or Mama T.

Tina was preceded in death by her father, Harry Otto "Harry O" Myers, her mother, Dolores "Dolly" Myers, her sister, Becky Jo Douglass and her daughter-in-law, Samantha Carlin.
