Peggy Pei- Yin Payne - August 06, 1940 - February 10, 2022

Departed: 02/10/2022 (Bryan)
Obituary Preview: Peggy Payne (Aug. 6, 1940 - Feb. 10, 2022)
Peggy Pei-Yin Tomiko Huang Payne (fondly known as ā€œPeg,ā€ ā€œMa,ā€ ā€œAma,ā€ and ā€œSister Peggyā€) was born in Taiwan on August 6, 1940, into a large family with limited means. Her early childhood was influenced by the Japanese occupation; she recalled taking cover on the roadside during bombing raids of World War II. Though she was raised in the culture of Buddhism, as a teenager, her daily commute by bicycle took her past a Christian church where she would hear singing. That singing attracted her eventually to come in. The Christians there led her to receive the Lord Jesus as her Savior. She was a follower of Christ her entire life.
Peggy attended a teacherā€™s college (Normal School) and began her first teaching assignment in a remote location at an age when most U.S. students are still earning their bachelorā€™s degree. After working a few years, she decided to make a bold move to expand the options for her future. She took extra English classes and applied for a Masterā€™s degree in the U.S. She was accepted into a small Christian college in Tennessee where she studied Christian Education since she desired to help children know about Jesus. The Lord supplied her financial needs somewhat miraculously by the help of first a scholarship and then a generous sponsor.
When graduation time came, she prayed, telling the Lord that she would take the first job offer she got. That job offer turned out to be for a special school in Houma, Louisiana for troubled children. So thatā€™s where she moved. Upon arrival, a resident told her that there was another Chinese family in town. Peggy looked up the surname ā€œChenā€ in the phone book ā€“ there was only one ā€“ and called and introduced herself to James and Grace Chen. They invited her over for dinner and discovered that they all were believers in Christ. Peggy began to attend their fellowship group, where she got to know a seaplane pilot named Glenn Payne.
Glenn injured himself and, with the encouragement of Grace Chen, Peggy visited him in the hospital with some food. Glenn got motivated to study Chinese, asked her to marry him, and then stopped learning Chinese once she said yes. They had a wonderful marriage for 48 years characterized by gentleness and respect. Glenn recalls only two arguments in all those years ā€“ and says she was right both times. Peggy was the CFO of the household. In her later years, Glenn was her chauffeur to long-distance hair appointments and more.
Their first child, Matthew Forrest Payne, was born in 1974. Their daughter, June Tomiko Payne (Holmes), followed in 1976. The Paynes moved to Houston in 1976 and participated in a glorious church life. Peggy worked as a draftsman for a few years at Fluor Daniel. When she was laid off, Glenn encouraged her to work for the post office like him. For a while, they operated an ice cream shop. For five years, they participated in the church life in Midland and Odessa, and then moved to College Station upon her retirement from the post office in 2006, so that they could have a home near the college campus to host Bible studies for students. Peggy had a heart for international students, since she had been one. Between Glenn and Peggyā€™s labor, hundreds of people received homemade meals, driving lessons, English lessons, or a place to sleep while traveling. Many students believed into Christ, and many were baptized in their home. Her retirement years were full of joy.
Peggy was hospitalized with COVID-19 on January 24th. She had either her son or daughter with her nearly every hour of her hospitalization. Even though she was weak, in a moment of clarity, she told one of her nurses about her experience of the Lord Jesus. On February 9th she said she wanted to be with the Lord. The next day, she passed away peacefully and with dignity, holding the hands of her children. We miss her enormously. Peggy Payne is survived by her family in Taiwan: her eldest brotherā€™s wife Hsiu-Chu Li her brother Wen-Shiung Wu and sister-in-law Shu-Hui Chiu her sister-in-law Yu-Ling Peng her brother Wen-Hsien Wu and sister-in-law Hsiu-Lan Chen her nephew Han-Yao Chiu her sister Yu-Hsia Wu her sister Pi-Chu Wu her sister Pi-Yun Wu and brother-in-law Cheng-Mao Lai 儹ēš„å¤§å«‚ęŽē§€čŠ 儹ēš„å¤§å¼Ÿå³ę–‡é›„å’Œå¤§å¼ŸåŖ³é‚±ę·‘ęƒ  儹ēš„äŗŒå¼ŸåŖ³å½­ēŽ‰ēŽ² 儹ēš„äø‰å¼Ÿå³ę–‡č³¢å’Œäø‰å¼ŸåŖ³é™³ē§€č˜­ 儹ēš„äŗŒå§Šå³ēŽ‰éœž 儹ēš„äø‰å§Šå³ē¢§ē  儹ēš„妹妹吳ē¢§é›²å’Œå¦¹å©æč³“ę­£čŒ‚ 儹ēš„大外ē”„é‚±ę¼¢å Æ and her family in the United States: her husband Glenn her son Matt and daughter-in-law Ginessa her daughter June and son-in-law Scott Holmes

Obituaries are important because they provide a way to honor and celebrate the life of the deceased, while also informing others of their passing. They can also serve as a keepsake for family and friends, and can be used to share memories and stories about the person who has passed.

What information is typically included in an obituary?

A typical obituary includes the person's name, age, date of birth and death, place of residence, occupation, education, military service, hobbies, achievements, and survivors (family members and friends).

Can I write my own obituary?

Yes, you can write your own obituary! In fact, many people choose to do so as a way to ensure that their life story is told in their own words. This is often referred to as a "self-written" or "advance" obituary.

What is the difference between an obituary and a death notice?

A death notice is a brief announcement of someone's passing, usually including only the most basic information such as name, age, and date of death. An obituary, on the other hand, provides more detailed information about the person's life and accomplishments.

Where are obituaries typically published?

Obituaries are typically published in local newspapers, online obituary platforms, funeral home websites, and social media sites. They may also be shared through email or printed copies distributed at funeral services or memorial gatherings.

Can I include photos or other multimedia in an obituary?

Yes, many online obituary platforms and some newspapers allow you to include photos, videos, or other multimedia elements in an obituary. These can help bring the person's story to life and make the tribute more personal.

How long do online obituaries remain available?

In some cases, yes. If you need to make corrections or updates to an obituary after it's been published, contact the publication or platform where it was published to see if they allow revisions.

What is a guest book or condolence message?

A guest book or condolence message is a way for friends and family to express their condolences and share memories of the deceased. These messages are often included alongside the obituary online or in print.

How do I submit a condolence message or guest book entry?

To submit a condolence message or guest book entry, follow the instructions provided on the online obituary platform or funeral home website. You may be asked to create an account or log in before submitting your message.

Can I request donations in lieu of flowers in an obituary?

Yes! Many families prefer donations to charity in lieu of flowers as a way to honor their loved one's memory. Be sure to specify the charity name and any relevant details in the obituary.

What is a memorial fund or scholarship established in someone's name?

A memorial fund or scholarship is a way to continue celebrating someone's life by supporting a cause or organization they cared about. Donations are collected in their name and used to support specific initiatives or programs.

How do I find an old obituary from years ago?

You can try searching online archives of newspapers or websites that specialize in storing historical records. You may also contact local libraries or genealogical societies for assistance.

Can I reuse an existing obituary template or example?

Yes! You can use existing templates or examples as inspiration when writing an obituary. However, be sure to customize it to fit the unique life and personality of your loved one.

What if I need help writing an obituary due to emotional distress?

If you're struggling to write an obituary due to emotional distress, consider reaching out to a trusted friend, family member, or professional counselor for support. Funeral homes may also offer guidance or resources to help with this process.

Can I include humor or lighthearted moments in an obituary?

Absolutely! Obituaries don't have to be somber; they can be celebratory and humorous too. Including funny anecdotes or quirks can help capture the person's personality and spirit.

How do I ensure accuracy when writing an obituary?

To ensure accuracy when writing an obituary, verify facts with multiple sources (e.g., family members, records), proofread carefully, and ask someone else to review it before publication.

What if I need to make corrections to an already-published obituary?

If you need to make corrections to an already-published obituary, contact the publication or platform where it was published as soon as possible. They may be able to issue a correction notice or update the original publication.

Can I create a video tribute or slideshow for an obituary?

Yes! Many online platforms allow you to create multimedia tributes such as video slideshows or photo galleries alongside the written obituary. These can be especially meaningful ways to celebrate someone's life.

How do I share an online obituary on social media?

To share an online obituary on social media, simply copy and paste the link into your post. You can also use social media sharing buttons provided on some online platforms.

What if I want to keep an online obituary private?

If you want to keep an online obituary private, look for platforms that offer password-protected access or limited visibility settings. This can help control who sees the tribute.
