Diana Beth Cain left this human experience after a tragic auto accident on Friday, Feb. 10, 2017, in divine order to follow her spiritual path. She was born Sept. 26, 1950 in Malvern, Ark., 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 four-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, Ore.; 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.
