Cecelia Lech Payne Obituary
We are sad to announce that on October 12, 2023 we had to say goodbye to Cecelia Lech Payne of Gainesville, Virginia, born in Plainfield, New Jersey. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Peter Lech and Anna Lech; her sons, Stephen Payne (Renee) and Bryan Payne (Faith); her grandchildren, Cristina, Travis and Shawn; her great grandchildren, Caleb and Colby; her sister Jane Pryce (Bradford) of Michigan; her nieces and nephews, Matthew Pryce (Sharon), Jeffrey Kephart (Karen), Peter Kephart, Christine Kephart (Richard Kraus) and Kathleen Kephart; her sister Bernice Kephart of New Jersey; and also Julia Pryce (Heriberto Soto).
During the COVID pandemic, she became an avid participant in the Zoom services broadcast through Old St. Patricks' Church in Chicago, the church that her niece and family attends.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making donations in memory of Cecelia L. Payne to the following organizations.
