Patricia Louise Payne died on Wednesday, July 20, at her home in Ringgold, Georgia.
She is survived by her husband, Bob Payne, and children, Robin O’Kane (Eric), Rashel Bullion, and Todd Bullion. She has nine grandchildren who called her Nana - Steven Bullion, Katrina Koehn (pronounced Cane), Justin Koehn, Kylee Kilborne, Christopher Kilborne, Erica O’Kane, Julian Reed, Ciera Reed, and Josh Bullion. She had four great-grandchildren, Kendahl Bullion, Jaden Reynolds, Dominic Denapolis, and Jeremiah Henderson. She is survived by her brother, Chet Barfield and sister Ginger Johnson.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, David, and sister, Linda.
She loved lying in the sun and she always had the nicest of tans. She enjoyed cooking, baking, but loved to teach the grandkids how to cook and bake. In her younger years, she was a hair dresser and she always made sure all the neighborhood kids had fresh hair cuts. She was a Girl Scout leader and baseball team mom. She was a hard-working woman and always a provider. She liked to read and play video games on her computer.
Her quotes:
If you can read you can cook.
Busy kids don’t have time to get into trouble.
