September 26, 1950 - February 10, 2017
Diana Beth Cain left this human experience after a tragic auto accident on Friday, February 10, 2017, in divine order to follow her spiritual path. She was born September 26, 1950 in Malvern, Arkansas to William Joseph and Anita Vaughan Collie. She was a graduate of Malvern High School, Class of 1968. Diana attended the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville where she was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. She earned her bachelor's degree in elementary education in 1972.
After graduation she first worked for Kinder Kampus where she adored teaching the 4-year-old class. She had a special place in her heart for all kids, and loved anything educational for them. She was a homemaker for several years while her children were young. She later became a fundraiser and loved working with databases for several non-profit organizations.
Diana was long-time member of the worldwide fellowship of Al-Anon. Her spiritual depth was an inspiration to so many. The fellowship was inspired by her witness of constant nurturing, love, and faith. She was the embodiment of grace, dignity, and poise. Her fellowship family cherished her unconditional love and support as well as her positive outlook and words of wisdom.
Diana was predeceased by her parents. She is survived by her husband of 46 years, Dr. Thomas D. Cain; her son Matthew J. Cain of Glenwood, daughter Rebekah E. Cain of Portland, OR; grandchildren Loren, Angelene, Brooklynn, Christianne, and Madeline Cain. She is also survived by her sisters and brothers-in-law, Cindy Collie and Allen Winn of Scott, and April and Mike Hoover of Eldorado. She is also survived by a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and in-laws.
Diana will be interred in her beloved Rockport Cemetery in Malvern in a private ceremony Monday. There will be a celebration of her life Wednesday, February 15, 2017 at 6:00 pm at Roller-Chenal Funeral Home, 13801 Chenal Parkway, Little Rock. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Rockport Cemetery Care Fund Association, PO Box 182, Malvern, AR 72104.
