Patricia Cain

Pat was born October 8, 1917 in Oxnard, CA. She graduated from Santa Clara Catholic School in Oxnard. For 20 years she resided in Robbins, CA raising her two sons and working for Marysville Tractor Company. She eventually returned to Ventura County where she married the love of her life, Raymond"Jay" Cain. They lived in Ventura for the remainder of their lives.

Pat and Jay retired together after she worked in various secretarial positions and he in construction. They both enjoyed the great outdoors, traveling together in their RV accompanied by their friends and sometimes an occasional grandchild or two. Favorite places included Death Valley, CA, Yuma, AZ and Idaho. Nana loved dancing, playing table games, collecting rocks and other various nature items as well as making and purchasing arts and crafts. She often would share her many treasures with family and friends. They both were active in their church and serving in several capacities. She loved to cook and entertain, hosting dinner parties and always taking time to make sure you felt at home. One of her best qualities was her correspondence with others. She faithfully would answer all letters and cards and a thank you note was a must if you did even the smallest thing for her.

Her surviving family members will miss her greatly. Her brother and sister-in-law, John and Jean McGarry, daughter and son-in-law, Jana and Wayne West; her four grandchildren Shari White (Davie), Staci Bagley (Matt), Dana Hurley (Chase), David West (Jennifer) and her great-grandchildren Zachary & Joshua White, Morgan & Mackenzie Hurley, Hailey & Spencer West, as well as several nieces and nephews and special neighbors, RV and church friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents James and Amanda McGarry, first husband James A. Eastman, sons Jimmy Eastman, Charles "Chuck" Eastman, brother and sister-in-law, Jim and Betty McGarry; and in 2009 her beloved husband Raymond "Jay" Cain.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Ventura Rescue Mission or a charity of one’s choice.

Memorial services will be held Friday, March 16, 2:00 P.M. at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ventura. Private burial will take place at Ivy Lawn Memorial Park, Ventura.
