Barbara Cain Einsel was born in Hammond, LA, in 1945 as the daughter of Rev. & Mrs. Jerome Cain. I spent my growing up years as a Preacher’s Kid in Ponchatoula, Bogalusa, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette. I graduated from Lafayette High School in 1963, USL in Upper Elementary Education in 1967, and St. Paul School of Theology with a Master’s Degree in Religious Education in 1969.
I met Alan from Greensburg, KS at St. Paul, and we married in Houma, LA on August 5, 1969. I served as Director of Christian Education at First United Methodist Church in Lake Charles, LA for six months before we married. We had two children, David Alan & Sandy Marie, both born in Salina, KS. Our son David is married to Chantelle Gaspard of Hessmer; they live in Prairieville. He is an environmental engineer working for a firm in Gonzales, and she is an independent CPA with an office in south Baton Rouge. They have two children: Jenna is 13 and in 8th grade, and Cooper Roy is 6 and in 1st grade. Our daughter Sandy was married to Greg Bryant of AL for almost three years before she died in February of 2005 from leukemia. She was living in FL and working at her dream job as instructional technologist at Rollins College in Winter Park.
Throughout my ministry, I have worn a lot of “hats”: pastor’s wife, mother, Christian educator in most of the 10 appointments where Alan served, school teacher, or a combination of all of those. Every situation has been unique!
I was certified as a Director of Christian Education in Kansas in 1972, consecrated in the first class of Diaconal Ministers in Louisiana in 1977, certified as a Minister of Youth in 1995, and ordained as a Deacon in the Louisiana Conference of the United Methodist Church in 1997. Alan, a minister in the United Methodist Church, and I lived in Kansas 1970 to 1976 serving 2 appointments. In 1976 we moved to Louisiana, and we have served churches here until retirement. I have loved sharing my faith with persons of all ages, developing local church programs, and responding to my call to serve in the world with emphasis upon my calling into Christian Education.
We retired from active ministry in 2010 and bought a home in Prairieville, south of Baton Rouge. We enjoy having our own home and being close to our son and his family.
In August of 2014, Alan became ill with aggressive kidney cancer. He passed away 10/20/2014 very peacefully.
I am adjusting to my life without Alan. I love traveling and being involved in activities at my church and pursuing my hobbies. Life is good.
