Evie Payne Obituary
Spruce Pine/Marshall - Evie Massey Payne, 102, of Spruce Pine/Marshall, NC, left this world to begin her new life in Heaven on August 26, 2016.
Evie was born January 28, 1914 to the late Caney and Onie Payne of Madison County, NC.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 26 years, Ira Massey; by her husband of 32 years, Richmond Payne; by son, Leonard Massey; five Massey babies: Nina, Grace, Pansy, Jewell and Harold; brothers: Henry, Evin and Jerry Payne; sisters: Belva, Paralee, Mennie, Orie, Clemmie, Nellie, Elsie and Merle.

Evie dedicated her life to family, friends, her love and work for her church. As a beloved wife, mother, mamaw, aunt and friend, Evie touched the lives of many on her exciting journey of 102 years. Her gentleness, soft-spoken words and sweet smile were her trademark and encouragement to all who knew her.
Evie was a member of First Baptist Church, Spruce Pine, NC, and formally a member at Caney Fork and North Fork Baptist in Marshall, NC.
A hole is left in the hearts of many as she passed from this life into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior. Evie invites all her loved ones to follow that same path into eternity to be with her.
"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Memories leave a love no one can steal."

Mary,
So sorry for your loss. We will always remember Evie standing at the foot of the back stairs at First Baptist Church smiling as we came down from Sunday School.
She was a true blessing to us and we loved her. We just found out because we were out of town this weekend. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you peace in the coming days. You went your last mile to take care of her.

Bruce and I will always remember the day we met a spirited 86-year-old woman at 1700 Roberts Branch to consider buying her property. We spent 12 wonderful years there and Evie's spirit was always with us. Rest in peace and watch over Evie.
