Celebrating the life of
Charlotte Chandler Cain
Passed away on May 25, 2022
Charlotte Chandler “Cholly” Cain, 87, passed away on Wednesday, May 25, in Savannah, Georgia. Born on November 30, 1934, in Blakely, Georgia, she was the only child of Warren Hill and Mary Arminta “Minnie” Owen Chandler. She graduated from Blakely Union High School and received her B.S. in Education from the University of Georgia, where she met her husband of 58 years, Lanier Cain, whom she married in June, 1954. She and her husband spent the majority of their lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where they raised their two children.
They were active members of Brainerd Baptist Church, cultivating friendships that sustained them throughout their lives. She delighted in the life she shared with her husband, she nurtured her children’s interests and pursuits, and she relished being a Lala to her grandchildren. Her laugh was contagious, her curiosity immense. Mrs. Cain pursued a career as an elementary-school educator and administrator for over 40 years. She taught in both private and public schools in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and Florida, mentoring thousands of children with her commitment, creativity, and high standards. She was especially proud of the role she played in the founding of Brainerd Baptist School in 1972. In 2007 Mrs. Cain and her husband relocated to Winder, Georgia, and then in 2012 to Savannah, where she joined the congregation of Bull Street Baptist. With great gladness she claimed Christ as her Savior and her joyful countenance through trials and triumphs testified to her unwavering faith in God.
She is preceded in death by her parents and husband; one son, Lanier Cain, Jr.; and one grandson, Owen Cain.
She is survived by her son Hamilton (Ellen Goldstein) of Brooklyn, New York; her daughter, Char-La Fowler (Calvin) of Savannah, Georgia; five grandsons, Richard Fowler of Atlanta, Georgia, Henry and Hudson Fowler of Savannah, Georgia, Nathaniel and Peter Cain of Brooklyn, New York; two granddaughters, Chandler Fowler of Austin, Texas, and Collins Fowler of Savannah, Georgia; and a multitude of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A graveside service will be held at Blakely Cemetery in Blakely, Georgia on Tuesday May 31 at 2:00pm.
A memorial service will be held at Bull Street Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia on Friday, June 10 at 2:00pm.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Clinical Center of Columbia University Medical Center, Covenant Care Adoptions of Georgia, or any charity that supports the care and betterment of children.
