Geraldine "Jeri" Cain

Jennings

There are some who bring such great light to the world, that even after they have gone, the light remains.

Our beloved Geraldine “Jeri” Gervais Cain has been called from this life and into the arms of the Lord on July 24, 2022. Jeri was born on April 13, 1939, to Lionel and Bernice Gervais of Jennings, La. She, along with her sister and parents were co-owners of Gervais Smart Shop. Jeri enjoyed working alongside her mother and father at their family store while also being a full- time mother. She resided in Jennings with her beloved late husband James Allen Cain. Jeri loved Christmas and had a natural talent for decorating her home every year. Her favorite memories were dancing with her grandchildren while putting up Christmas decorations. Jeri loved her family and friends more than anything. She brought love and laughter to everyone she knew and will be truly missed by everyone who had the privilege to know her.

Jeri is survived by her three sons Glenn (Lisa) West, Mark (Roxanne) West, and Brad West; her five grandchildren; Alex (Lindy) West, Marshal (Mallory) West, Rosaura (Danny) Marrero, Taylor (Beau) Fontenot, Sarah (Daniel) Sonnier; her six great grandchildren; Ella West, Colt Fontenot, Stetson Fontenot, soon to be John Fontenot, DJ Marrero, and Georgia Sonnier.

She is preceded in death by her parents Lionel Gervais and Bernice Gervais, her husband James Allen Cain, and her sister Janet Stoma.

Pallbearers will be Alex West, Marshall West, Beau Fontenot, Daniel Sonnier, Mark Cina, and Jay Dobson.
