Early Friday morning, June 29, 2007, our Lord, Savior, Jesus Christ decided he wanted Mother Annie Mae Davis Cain to leaves earth and fly away to be with him. As mother has spoken to all of her children, friends, family and doctors, "when you hear of my home going, don't worry about me".

Mother Cain was born February 10, 1923 in Hartsville, SC to the Reverend Albert and Mariah Davis who preceded her in death. Her 15 siblings also preceded her in death.

Annie married Ervin Julius Cain in 1939, who survives of the home and they are the parents of 10 children, James Allen Cain, Franklin (Linda) Cain, James Larry Cain, Ronnie (Karen) Cain of San Jose, CA, Shelia (Levell) Caldwell, Marilyn (Carl) Dunlap, Vickie Cain Lindsay, Patricia (Cedric) Spann, Ervin Cain of Santa Clara, CA and Gwendolyn (Randy) Glenn. She has 25 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren. Annie reared two of her grandchildren in her home, Felicia Cain and Brandon Cain of San Jose, CA. She has two sisters-in-law, Barbara Davis of Chapel Hill, NC and Mazarene Davis of Hartsville, SC; two loving and devoted nieces, Willa Faye Davis and Barbara Jean Clyburn. A devoted nephew, Edward Davis of Chapel Hill, NC; a devoted son-in-law, Carl Dunlap, her friend, confidant and prayer partner; Elder Hilton and Lilly Stone were devoted friends of hers who always visited her with prayer and devotion. Mother Cain has a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Annie loved her children and was a great provider to all of them. Her outstanding cooking and sewing made motherhood a pleasure for her-- homemade biscuits, preserves, "the table was spread".

Annie joined Kimberly Park Holiness Church in 1956 under the leadership of the late Bishop S. M. Caesar. She had a great love and support for her church family. She was a member of the Mother's Board and president of the Nurse's Board. Mother Cain made sure the youth received candy on youth Sunday, even when her health failed.

Annie was known for her oatmeal cookies and candy in the Kimberly Park neighborhood. She loved children and fed and clothed hundreds.

Mother Cain's home going will be held on Saturday, July 7, 2007 at 12:00 NOON from the Kimberly Park Holiness Church with Pastor Robert Edmond, Jr. officiating and Elder Hilton Stone, Jr. as Eulogist. Interment will follow in the Evergreen Cemetery. The family visitation will be from 7:00 until 9:00 PM on Friday, July 6, 2007 at the Kimberly Park Holiness Church.
