Christie Marie Rain, 56, passed away July 11, 2007, in Atlanta, Georgia, from complications of diabetes and heart disease. Born November 15, 1950, a daughter of Shirley and Christopher John Rain, she was known lovingly as "the smart one" in the family. She earned a degree in physics and moved to Texas in the 70's to assume a supervisory position at Texas Instruments in their chip manufacturing operations. Later she moved to California to become a health physicist in the Navy's nuclear submarine operations. She retired to the Atlanta area as her health declined.

She was preceded in death by her father; a sister, Susan; two brothers, John and Kevin Rain; and two stepbrothers, David and Don Bierbaum.
A private memorial service was held in Atlanta. The American Diabetes Society was named as a memorial. R.T. Patterson Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
