HOUSTON - Leona Marie "Mom" Cain, of Houston, died Sunday, March 27, 2011, at Delaware Hospice Center, Milford. She was 82. Mom Cain worked at the family business, Cedar Lane Resale of Houston where she was still working at the ripe old age of 82. She was known as "Mom" to everyone in Houston.

In her spare time, she enjoyed doing crossword puzzles with her great-granddaughter Cheyenne Marie, watching I Love Lucy and Shirley Temple Movies on tape, and watching game shows. She was very outgoing, and people would come into her office to drink coffee and talk to Mom Cain, and she enjoyed this tremendously. Mom Cain cherished her family dearly. She enjoyed being with her great-grandchild, Heather and reading to her.
