"What a sad day - Ms. Cain (aka Sarge) was my most favorite teacher and probably the most fun person I had the honor to work with in my most formative years. May you find joy and happiness in the lords hands."
In loving memory of
Lodoen Purdy Cain
November 24, 1928 - January 14, 2018
A very special marine passed away tonight at 5:00 p.m.
A salute to Lodoen Purdy Cain who died of natural causes tonight at the age of 89. I know some of you knew her as Mrs. Cain from Totem Jr. High. She was no ordinary teacher, if you came to class thinking you were going to be "average", you probably soon found out this teacher was a game changer. And some have expressed to me she was also a life changer as well.
Below is in honor of a special woman and mentor of many.
Thank you Lodoen for contributing to society, your service to our country as well. Your soul is at rest, your intellect lives on through those you graciously taught.
(Salute!!)
God bless you Lodoen,
From all of your family, we love you.
