Loving devoted mother of Jennifer (James) Tomlinson, Sheila (Hans) Heltke, and Patricia (Kevin) Lee.

Remembered by her siblings Gordon Payne (Martha), Ginny Payne, Dianne Buick, Linda Zieske (James) and Rick Payne. Predeceased by her mother Virginia Payne. Barb was a woman who loved her family, was crazy in love with her grandchildren, and liked nothing more than watching their hockey, soccer, rugby, dance and skating events. She was their biggest cheerleader in all they did! She was an active member at their church where she loved planning and being a part of the Alma Bible Church Ladies Bible Study, Seniors Club and her friends she loved so much Peggy and Terry Arseneau, Loretta and Ralph Lehman, Carolyn and Verden Martin and many more, we thank you for your support. Barb was very creative and loved to paint, draw, read, and do crafts with her grandkids. They loved when she came to babysit with her craft bag. Barb also had a soft heart for all animals and especially her beloved pets Toby, MacGregor, and Sammy. She will be remembered by all as a loving, caring, supportive woman who had an awesome sense of humour. She loved to send messages to her friends and loved ones to encourage or just to make them smile. Barb had a deep faith and love for the Lord Jesus Christ, her personal Saviour. A favourite verse: Trust in Him at all times you people, pour out your hearts before Him. For God is our refuge. Psalm 62:8. Interment will take place on Saturday, June 21, 2025 for close family, followed by a celebration of life to which all are welcome at Alma Bible Church, 59 Peel St. E., Alma at 1pm. A time of refreshments and memories will be shared following the service.
