OBITUARY:

Tatyana Levina May 26, 1932 – June 29, 2025

Tatyana Abramovna Levina, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and Holocaust survivor, passed away peacefully in Alpharetta, Georgia, on June 29, 2025 at the age of 93.

Born on May 26, 1932, in Litin, Ukraine, Tatyana's life was marked by extraordinary resilience, intellect, and compassion. Despite the unimaginable hardship of losing her mother, Leya Ivnitskaya, to the terror of the Nazi regime and her father, Abram Ivnitskiy, shortly after World War II ended, Tatyana put herself through school, graduating with top honors. Her brilliance and determination earned her a place at a technical university during a time when antisemitism posed enormous barriers—making her academic success all the more remarkable.

Due to her academic success, and in a rare honor, she was given the opportunity to choose where to live and work—a testament to her exceptional intellect and work ethic. She chose Belarus, where she met the love of her life, Yefim Levin. Together, they built a joyful, loving home and raised a family grounded in warmth, devotion, and integrity.

Tatyana went on to pursue a career in material sciences developing new construction materials made of concrete. Her invention of additives to concrete, which improved the quality of concrete, was patented and earned her multiple awards and commendations from the former Soviet Union for her groundbreaking work.

In 1996, Tatyana and Yefim immigrated to the United States to be closer to their family. Tatyana is survived by her two devoted daughters, Liliya Kapilevich (Oleg) and Inessa Shtylman (Vadim); her four cherished grandchildren, Anna Howard (Tim), Stas Kapilevich (Mary Ann), Anton Shtylman (Amanda), and Diana Burkholder (Andrew); and her six adored great-grandchildren: Elizabeth and Maya Howard, Aubrey and Caleb Kapilevich, and Alexander and William Burkholder.

Those who knew Tatyana remember her as selfless, wise, and endlessly compassionate. She was deeply respected, beloved by all who met her, and a source of comfort and strength for her family and community.

Her presence was a blessing, and her memory will be a guiding light to all whose lives she touched.

In lieu of flowers, the family is collecting donations for a tribute bench in Tatyana’s memory. This memorial will serve as a peaceful place of reflection that honors her life and values, and will be placed in a public park where she loved to walk. Donations can be made via a GoFundMe setup by the family or sent via Zelle to Inessa Shtylman at (770) 656-3574. For donations made via Zelle, please include a note indicating the donation is in memory of Tatyana.
