Cynthia “Cindy” Cain
d. April 22, 2023
Cynthia “Cindy” Cain, age 66, of Springfield, IL, passed away on Saturday, April, 22, 2023 at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield.
Cynthia was born on October 10, 1956 in Springfield, IL, the daughter of Joseph and Ellen Vinlove. Cindy is preceded in death by her parents.
She married Kevin Cain on June 10, 1994, enjoying nearly 30 years together as best friends and soul mates.
Mourning her passing are, husband, Kevin; son, Christopher Lloyd Violet; step-son, Skyler Cain (fiancé Heather Torres); step-daughter, Shawna Cain (husband Brandon Koida); siblings, Don (wife Sheryl) Vinlove, Linda (husband Dennis) Kall, and David Gene (wife Somjai) Vinlove; several grandchildren, Danielle Violet, Damon Violet, Caitlyn Violet, Chris Violet, Gabrielle Cain, Logan Cain, Rylen Torres, Spencer Cain, and Kenzo Koida; great-grandchild, Ellie; and several nieces and nephews.
She retired from Horace Mann after 30 years and went on to make a successful career with her true passion: antiques and DIY upcycling. She loved transforming vintage items with skill, care and artistry to give them a new life. She and husband Kevin became co-owners of the Rusty Star Marketplace Antique and Craft Mall in Divernon for over ten years.
Cindy was a “dog person” and her dogs were her family. She was also an avid gardener specializing in flowers and landscaping. She always seemed to make everything beautiful around her.
Cremation rites will be accorded.

Dear Kevin and family. I have not known Cindy long, but when I first met her nearly a year ago, I immediately knew she was an especially kind and warm hearted person. I, as I’m sure all of you, am heartbroken at her passing. However, I know that heaven gained someone who will be one of the Lord’s favorite Angels. My heart goes out to you all. I will keep you in my prayers for comfort through this very difficult time.
