Obituary
Charlene Amelia Anderson Payne,
86, of Lincoln passed away February 18, 2022 at
Decatur Memorial Hospital.
Cremation rites have been accorded by Holland Barry
& Bennett Funeral Home.
Charlene Payne was a resident of Lincoln, IL, and a
member of Lincoln Christian Church. She was happily
married to Orville Ray Payne for 61 years and raised
two wonderful children with him. She was active in
her family’s lives, she never missed the opportunity
to give a birthday card. She always gave Christmas
socks with a little treat inside to loved ones.
Charlene was well known in the
community, so well-known that just hearing her name
would spark a conversation about what she or her
children were up to. She helped so many friends and
family through her connections that way.
She was a beautician at Lincoln
Christian Village for many years until she retired
to stay home with her husband to care for him.
Anytime you called, you would always hear, “Hi
Honey”, a phrase that will never be forgotten
because of that sweet voice. She was selfless and
nuturing.
Charlene had a smile that would
light up a room and a contagious laugh. She always
put others first and loved to give gifts so that
they would smile. She was a loving wife, adoring
sister, amazing mother, incredible grandmother, and
aunt. |
Her memories will carry on with all who were blessed to be loved
by her and know her.
She is survived by her husband Orville Ray Payne, Daughter Tina (husband-Kerry)
Cox, Son Matthew Ray (wife-Peggy) Payne, and Sister, Ruth “Snooki”
(husband-Tommy) Davis. Her Grandchildren: Christopher (fiancé-Alicia) Cox,
Matthew Ryan Payne, Morgan Becker (partner Grace), Hannah Payne (spouse Mike), &
Alex Payne. Great-grandchildren: Kalliana, Kaden, Kalvin Becker, & Sophia
Kieffer. Her niece Danielle Davis, great-niece Madeline & great-nephew Davis
Landgrebe.
She is preceded in death by her brothers Bub and Ricky, and her loving parents.
A memorial service for friends and family will be held at Lincoln Christian
Church at 11:00 AM, Thursday, February 24, 2022, with a lunch to follow at 12:00
