Obituary for Shaunta Marie Payne

Shaunta Marie Payne, 31 of Orgas went before our Lord on April 11, 2022 at home.

She was a loving, sweet, free spirited mother, daughter, sister and friend. The things that made her the happiest were music and spending time with her family and friends. She so looked forward to the holidays and was like a little kid at heart. She loved hanging out with the little ones, which is why she got along so well with Boss Babe and Chunky Butt. She loved doing hair, make-up and nails and had dreams of becoming a Cosmetologist. She would ask for prayer whenever she saw you and always had the most beautiful smile.
