Jo Ann Cain, a beautiful soul of profound faith, love, and grace, was called home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on August 27, 2026, at the age of 87. She passed away peacefully, enveloped in the warmth and prayers of her devoted family.
Jo Ann's journey began on November 11, 1938, when she was born in Bogalusa, LA. From her earliest days in Louisiana, she cultivated a spirit of warmth and hospitality that would define her entire life.

As a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and steadfast friend, Jo Ann was the true matriarch of her family. Her heart was a sanctuary of unconditional love, and her guidance was a steady anchor for generations to include the famous flip flop. She poured her life into those she held dear, creating a legacy of kindness, laughter, and faith that will endure in the hearts of her descendants.

Her life was a testament to her deep faith, she was a great prayer warrior. She faithfully taught children of all ages in Sunday School for over forty years. and while her family grieves this immense loss, they take comfort in knowing she is resting in eternal peace in the arms of her Savior. She is rejoined with the one and only love of her life Ray. Jo Ann's vibrant spirit, gentle touch, and enduring love touched countless lives, and she will be deeply and greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

LEST WE FORGET
When does the pain stop and the teardrops go away?
I wait for that time day after day.
A heart that is filled with pain may overflow for years.
You see it takes a while to empty all the tears.
How long before my heart is rung dry And when will I no longer grieve and cry?
Just when you think they're all gone,
You find yourself all alone.
Once again the memories begin to flow
And with them come those tears, don't you know.
Though God gives grace to see us through, He knows we need these tear drops too.
But don't you fret,
For He brings these memories to us, lest we forget.
