It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of Nina Carbini, a cherished resident of Arlington, Massachusetts, and a bright young student at the local secondary school.
Nina passed away following a devastating accident that occurred earlier this week in Massachusetts. Her untimely death has left her family, friends, teachers, and the broader Arlington community in deep mourning.
Nina was a vibrant and caring young woman, known for her warm smile, kind spirit, and the quiet strength she brought to those around her. As a student, she was admired not only for her academic diligence but also for her creativity, thoughtfulness, and unwavering sense of compassion.
She was deeply engaged in school life—whether through classroom discussions, extracurricular activities, or simply being a friend to those who needed one.
Born and raised in Arlington, Nina touched the lives of many in her 16 years. Those who knew her remember her as someone who saw the good in people, someone who listened, encouraged, and offered light even on the darkest days.
Whether it was helping classmates with homework, participating in school clubs, or volunteering in the local community, Nina approached life with sincerity and kindness. Beyond the classroom, Nina had a love for art, music, and literature.
She was often seen sketching in her notebook, reading under a tree, or sharing playlists with friends. Her gentle spirit and artistic soul left an impression on everyone fortunate enough to cross her path.
The suddenness of her passing has come as a shock to all who knew her. In the wake of the accident, there has been an outpouring of grief and support from across the community.
Classmates, teachers, and neighbors have come together to share memories, light candles, and offer their condolences to Nina’s grieving family. Her parents, siblings, extended family, and close friends are devastated by this loss.
They remember Nina as a loving daughter and sister—introspective, funny, and wise beyond her years. The depth of her empathy and her quiet confidence made her a rare and precious presence in their lives.
As Arlington grieves, we also give thanks for Nina’s life and the light she brought into the world. Though her time was far too short, her impact was profound. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of those she loved and those who loved her.
A memorial service and celebration of Nina’s life will be announced in the coming days, where friends, family, and members of the community will have the opportunity to come together, remember, and honor her memory.
In lieu of flowers, the Carbini family has asked that donations be made to local youth mental health initiatives in Nina’s name—an effort to support the well-being of young people, something Nina cared deeply about.
