The Citizens Times,  Asheville, NC 
Everette P. Payne
 
Asheville - Everette P. Payne, 91, of Asheville, became a citizen of a new 
country that he had never been to when he accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as 
his personal Lord and Savior on Friday, May 27, 1937. Death on February 14, 
2009 was the key that opened the door to his home in heaven with Jesus.

He was the son of the late Albert R. and Lucy Ledford Payne. He was preceded 
in death by 5 brothers; Harry, Norman, Ollan, Vonno, and Earle Payne, three 
sisters; Gertrude Moody, Dorothy Childers, and Thelma Hoffman.

In the love and hands of

God, he leaves his bride of 65+ years, Julia Rhymer Payne, also sons; Harry and

wife Judy Payne of Leicester, Larry Bruce and wife Julie Payne of Terlton, 
Okla., and Perry Eugene Payne of the home; seven grandchildren and six great-
grandchildren. Also his sister Stella and husband Chaplain Herbert H. Spencer 
of Naples, Fla.

He was a member of the Asheville Alliance Church for over 70 years, serving as
Elder, Executive Board, Teller and Usher. He retired in 1982 as Western 
Division Forester for Carolina Power & Light Company with 40 years of service.

He and 3 other young men organized the Jesus Save Mission on Roberts Street. 
He and one of the young men along with the help of many neighbors built the 
mission. He also drew the plans for the mission. He was involved in a Gospel 
Tract ministry reaching over 500,000 families with Scripture and hope when 
death separated them from their loved ones.

The memorial service will be 3 p.m. Tuesday at the Cornerstone Alliance Church,
12 S. French Broad Avenue, Asheville, N.C., with the Rev. Jerry Payne, the 
Rev. Dan Stephenson, the Rev. Jeffrey Hober and the Rev. James Shields 
officiating. The family will receive  friends from 2 to 3 p.m. Tuesday at the 
church.

Anders-Rice Funeral Home will serve the family with burial at Green Hills 
Cemetery. Honorary pallbearers will be men of the church and employees of 
Progress Energy
