Anna Marie Payne

Submitted by admin1 on Tue, 05/16/2023 - 17:12

Anna Marie Payne, 74, of Eastman, Wisconsin died in her home on Sunday, May 7, 2023. She was born June 30, 1948 to Milo and Juanita (Smith) Harris.
Ann loved to read, do crossword puzzles, garden, and always kept the birds well fed; especially the hummingbirds.
She loved her simple country life on the farm with her husband, Gary “Wig” Payne. She and Wig were inseparable. Their kitchen table was the gathering place for many friends and family over the years. Always a place to laugh, joke, and have an Old Milwaukee of course. If by chance they did leave the farm, they enjoyed trips to the casino with friends.
Anna loved her grandkids and great grandkids and was a big part in caring for her grandchildren when they were young. She will be remembered for her love for her family, a warm heart, and big hugs.
