Gloria Etchison Cain is the wife of Herman Cain. The former Republican presidential candidate and former Godfather’s Pizza CEO died after battling the coronavirus, his family announced Thursday. He was 74 years old. Cain had been hospitalized earlier this month. It wasn’t known where he contracted the virus. During a 2011 interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, Gloria joked that it was “exhausting” to be married to Cain. But when asked if he would be a good president, she was confident Cain was up for the job.While she supported her husband, Gloria was nervous about the run. During her 2011 interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, Gloria revealed that Cain tried to court her for more than one year. At the time they were in college, with Cain attending Morehouse as a sophomore. Gloria was in her first year at Morris Brown. She wasn’t interested at the time, but Cain was relentless in his pursuit. She laughed remembering how much he used to talk.
Eventually, he was able to win her over and the rest was history. “It was magic from that moment on and so I didn’t go out with anyone else. Neither did Gloria. And we dated and dated and dated,” he wrote in his book. Despite her husband’s public career as a politician, Gloria largely remained under the radar, Cain told Fox News in 2011, as quoted by The Atlantic. In his book, as cited by Politico, Cain wrote Gloria would be unlike any other first lady.
Gloria Etchison Cain’s age is unknown. However, her husband Herman Cain was 74 years old. He was born on December 13, 1945, in Memphis, Tennessee, United States. Cain, the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, died on Thursday at age 74 after spending a month in the hospital battling COVID-19. He died on July 30, 2020. Cain married Gloria Cain (née Etchison), of Atlanta, soon after her graduation from Morris Brown College in 1968.
The Cains are a family of four. They welcomed daughter Melanie three years after they were married and son Vincent, their youngest child, was born in 1977. As noted by Politico, Gloria worked as a housewife and stayed home with their children. In his book, Cain bragged about her cooking, saying her “fork-tender roast, collard greens, green beans, candied yams, hand-shucked corn, and homemade cornbread” was one of his favorite meals. Cain loved his family.
