Born Carol Ann Sautin on April 29, 1939, in Brooklyn, New York, she was the daughter of Julius Sautin and Ann R. Sautin (Corso). She grew up in Brooklyn surrounded by her extended maternal family. She attended Saint Angela Hall, graduating in 1955. Growing up, she summered in Howes Cave, New York with her paternal grandmother. During these summer visits she met the love of her life, Richard (Dick) Gorsin, a longtime resident of Cobleskill. On September 29, 1957 they were married and settled in Cobleskill to work and raise their family.
While raising her two children and tending to her household she attended SUNY Cobleskill and SUNY Oneonta where she received her Bachelors and Masters degrees in Early Education. In 1970 she began teaching 6th grade science at Cobleskill Central School and continued, even after relocating to Cooperstown in 1973, until her early retirement in December 1986. Her innovative, creative teaching style and enthusiasm for a secure, upbeat and comfortable learning environment made her an invaluable educator and grade 6 team member. She was considered a favorite teacher amongst her students whom still remember having her as their teacher to this day! Her favorite holiday was Halloween where she would dress up, along with her fellow teachers, for her students and then visit Dick at his bank to entertain the workers and customers alike!
