Rosma "Sue" Payne

Rosma Jean Payne, affectionately known since birth as "Sue," peacefully passed away leaving a legacy of profound love, dedication, and warmth. She was a woman whose entire life was defined by her caring heart, a quality that shone brightly both in her home and throughout her career as a health care aide.

For many decades, Sue and her beloved husband, Charles, made their home in Alberta, where they built a beautiful life grounded in family and mutual devotion. As a career health care aide, Sue dedicated her life to comforting others. She brought immense empathy, patience, and tenderness to her patients, treating everyone she cared for with the utmost dignity.

Her greatest joy, however, was her family. Sue was the ultimate matriarch—a gently devoted, loving, and thoughtful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. Her presence was a constant source of comfort and strength, and her home was always filled with warmth.

She is lovingly remembered by her loving husband, Charles William Payne; and their seven children, Cidelle (Rob) Crawford, Laura Payne, Ann (Jeff) Burt, Bill (Miranda) Payne, Rebecca (Phil) Cahoon, Jeremy (Crystal) Payne, and Amber (Dale) Tanner. She also leaves behind a grand legacy of 28 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, all of whom grew up enveloped in her unconditional love.

Sue’s gentle spirit, her ready smile, and her boundless capacity to care for those around her will be deeply and greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her memory will live on forever in the hearts of her family, friends, and the many lives she touched.
