IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Jun 13, 1953 — Dec 18, 2025
Quitman
Christine Lee (Kuepper) Sloane Cain, lovingly known as "Sunshine," was born at the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, Virginia, to Richard J. and Barbara J. Kuepper. She was preceded in death by her grandparents,her parents, and her first husband, Thomas J. Sloane.
Chris is survived by her sons, Matthew G. (Nicole) Sloane of Mackville, Wisconsin, and Daniel J. (Colleen)
Sloane of Kaukauna, Wisconsin; and her six grandchildren: Makayla, Riley, Alivia, Hunter, Amelia, and Breigh.
She is also survived by her husband, Greg J. Cain ("Peg"); his daughters, Casey, Karrie, and Jesse; ten
additional grandchildren; and one great-grandson. Chris is further survived by her sister, Carol (Tom) Wokosin,
and niece Cori of Appleton, Wisconsin.
A proud "Navy brat," Chris spent her early childhood in Portsmouth, Virginia, before military transfers took the
family to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and eventually back to her parents' home state of Wisconsin. She
graduated from Appleton High School West and later earned her degree in Special Education from the
University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh, where she met her first husband. Together, they raised their two sons in
Appleton.
Chris lived a life of service, faith, and community. She was actively involved in many organizations and
churches throughout her life, including serving as a member and officer of the Chaminade Women's Chorus;
as a teacher and Sunday School teacher; a member of the Appleton Junior Women's Club; and as a Builders
for Christ team member. Later, she served on hospitality teams at Valley Baptist Church and Pineview
Community Church in Quitman, Georgia.
As an educator, Chris inspired countless students with her kindness, encouragement, and unwavering belief in
their potential. She had a gift for helping others grow and discover the joy of learning. Chris found joy in baking and cooking, reading, gardening, traveling, and spending time "Up North" at the cottage. Retirement allowed her to devote even more time to what she cherished most—her grandchildren.
With her second husband, Greg, Chris embraced new adventures, including motorcycle rides, traveling
throughout Georgia, deepening her faith, and welcoming an expanded family. Her warmth, hospitality, and love
of Christ touched all who knew her.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Casey Cain and her son Cody, and to Karrie's son CJ, for their loving
presence and dedication during times of need. Special thanks are also given to Peg for his constant love and
compassionate care of his "Sunshine."
The family also sincerely thanks Affinity Hospice for their care, guidance, and support during this season of
Chris's life.
Chris's legacy of love, faith, service, and joy will continue to shine in the lives of all who were blessed to know
her.
