We are saddened by the transitioning of a lady who became an iconic figure in the Natchitoches Community and beyond. God granted her 100 years on her earthly sojourn. During that window of time she lived a service-driven life to the benefit of her God, her family, her community and her many, many students who held her in the highest of esteem. Kindness was a conquering element of her character. She will indeed be missed!
The Payne family is requesting that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the Pearl Payne Scholarship Fund, c/o North Star Baptist Church, P. O. Box 2647, Natchitoches, LA 71457. She was an educator extraordinaire!
