Nelda Cain Obituary
Nelda G. Cain, 85, of Benton, died Friday, May 2, 2025, at Ray and Kay Eckstein Hospice Center in Paducah.
She worked 18 years at CFSB, formerly known as Bank of Benton.
She was a devout Christian, and her and her husband James' initiation of the breakfast program at Palma Methodist Church was a testament to her selfless nature and devotion to nurturing others. People traveled a distance to eat breakfast on Saturday mornings at the church, where you could also always find Nelda cooking the country ham. Those who knew her can attest that Nelda's heart was ever expansive, finding joy in the simplest of life's offerings.
She is survived by her husband of 68 years, James Cain of Benton; two sons, James A. Cain of Camden, Tennessee, and Craig A. Cain of Harvey; one sister, Faye Phillips of Murray; four brothers, Rymon L. " Buddy" Sholar of Clarksville, Tennessee, James R. Sholar of Oklahoma, Rodger Sholar of Bumpus Mills, Tennessee, and Kenneth Sholar of Danville, Kentucky; and five grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by one sister and her parents, Rymon L. Sholar and Sarah Paige Sholar.
