Obituary

Loretta Lee Cain, born on Halloween October 31st 1966 in Dayton, Ohio, she entered into eternal life, free of pain on March 22nd 2018. She is celebrated in love by her husband, Russell Cain, her three children, Anita Carol, Amanda Lee and Daniel Wayne, her son-in-law Brian Austin, her granddaughter Haylee Nikole, and soon to be born grandson, Frank Brian. Her beloved dogs, Brody, Savannah, Zora, Thelma, Louise, Penny & Sally. She joins her father, Bill Nickell and her mother, Georgia Maiden-Nickell, in heaven.

Loretta was raised in Dayton Ohio. In 1983, she started her career at the Aeronautical Library on the Wright Patterson Air Force Base. On her mothers birthday, August 2nd 1984, she met her future husband, Russell. In 1985, she graduated from Dunbar High School and got married on June 29th. On January 15th 1986 she gave birth to her first born daughter, Anita, which began her new adventure as a stay at home mother. Russell, Loretta and Anita, then moved to base housing, at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base.

On June 20th 1987 she gave birth to her second daughter, Amanda. In October 1987 after Russell's tour ended in Alaska, the four of them moved to McClellan Air Force Base in Sacramento, California. On March 2nd 1989, she gave birth to her first son and third born child, Daniel. In August of 1992, Russell's father became ill, at which time Russell's career ended with the Air Force and the family relocated to Azalea Park, Florida.

In 1994, Loretta started her own career path with Bellsouth, where she built her love for people and her co-workers. Between 2000 and 2012, she extended her career and worked with ARS and Mills Air, where she made lifelong friends. In August of 2012 she found the career of her dreams with Pro Air Mechanical, where she opened her heart and was welcomed as family.

In 2007 Loretta started her first cancer battle after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. After her procedure, she continued to show the love she had for life, and eventually went into remission.

On January 30th 2016, Loretta's heart was broken when her mother unexpectedly passed away, after living with the family since 1989. On March 4th 2016, Loretta was diagnosed with Primary Peritoneal Cancer, where she would start her second battle. With the love of her family and friends, Loretta would fight a very long, hard, and painful battle; during which time, she would continue going about her everyday life, including spending her weekends enjoying bingo.

On March 22nd 2018, Loretta passed away peacefully after losing her battle. Loretta will be deeply missed by her family, friends, colleges, and family pets.
