Marie was born in Kewanna, Indiana on June 28, 1940, the daughter of John and Bernadette (Dunbar) Caton.  On October 29, 1966, she was united in marriage to Jerry Cain at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Platteville.  Jerry preceded her in death on September 24, 2004.  Marie worked in the Registrar's office at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville for many years, where she retired from.

Marie was a faithful and devoted Catholic and was very proud of her Irish Catholic heritage.  As her mother had done, she attended daily Mass for many years.  Marie lived a life of devotion and loving service and was an inspiration to her family.  She often visited her sick and lonely neighbors.  Although she and her husband Jerry had no children of their own, Marie was godmother to many children and relished that role, traveling to attend their First Communions, confirmations and weddings.

Marie is survived and loved by many cousins, nieces, nephews, sister-in-law, and cherished friends.  She was preceded in death by her husband, parents and sister, Kathleen.
