Ann Payne Obituary

Ann Mattingly Payne, 75, of Bardstown, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at her home on August 5, 2025. She was born on July 28, 1950, to the late Joseph B. and Saragene Stiles Mattingly. She was a graduate of Bethlehem High School and University of Kentucky, completing not only her Bachelor's degree but also her Masters and Rank One degrees in education. Ann was a retired teacher who influenced many lives during her many years at Old Kentucky Home Middle School.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 45 years, L. Dale Payne.
She is survived by one daughter, Julie Stiles Payne and one granddaughter, Annabelle Claire Murphy, both of Bardstown. She is also survived by her siblings, Joseph B. (Myra) Mattingly of Charlotte, North Carolina, Gaylord (Barbara) Mattingly, Marigene (Benny) Hite and Karen (Billy) Gentry, all of Bardstown. Many nieces, nephews, cousins and other family members also survive.
Ann had many hobbies that persisted throughout her life, including traveling not only locally but internationally with her friends, annual visits with her "Nazareth Girls", season tickets for Broadway series, watching University of Kentucky sports and keeping the statistics, monthly Bunco games, playing cards with family, and of course, spending time with her granddaughter.
She was a devout member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Bardstown and a regular member of St. Helen's Catholic Church in Glasgow, Kentucky.
