      Mrs. Payne was born June 4, 1913, in Chickasha to Homer T. and Audie Gann Burrow. The name Stinson was also the name of the physician who delivered Billie. Her mother, Audie, died in 1915 giving birth to her sister, also named Audie. Her father and his parents, the Burrows, raised her and her infant sister from the time she was 2 years old.

      She first attended school in Purdy, in a two-room schoolhouse. Later moving to Lindsay, she attended Lindsay High School, graduating in 1930. She went on to attend Oklahoma A&M College, where she became a lifelong member of Pi Beta Phi sorority. The Depression came along and cut short her college education after three years, and she went to work teaching school at the country school in Alex. This was the beginning of her 34-year teaching career. She eventually completed her education, graduating from East Central University in Ada.

      On April 5, 1943, Billie and Joseph Ray (Jodie) Payne Jr. were married in Lindsay. She then moved to Jodie's home in Marlow and continued teaching at Marlow Elementary School. They had a wonderful life together until Jodie's death in 1990.

      Billie was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Marlow and taught a special Sunday school class for over 30 years. She was also a member of the First United Methodist Women and a charter member of ESA Gamma Phi Chapter of Marlow.

      Billie's remaining family consists of two nieces, Ann Stewart Gromer and Jain Stewart Rasmussen, both of Sebadstopol, Calif.; a brother-in-law, William T. Payne and his wife, Sharon, of Fort Worth; a sister-in-law, Marylyn Wade and her husband, James, of Marlow; cousins, Maurice Moore, Ganna Hudson, Delbert Gann, Charles McKinney, Mary Lou Mahaffey, Bob Lyle, Jarrell Barnhill, Helen Lyle Broyles, Mary Kuntz and Tom Lyle; the many lives she touched as a teacher of first and third grades; and a host of friend

      She was also preceded in death by her father and by a sister, Audie Burrow Stewart, in 2002.

      Bearers will be Scott Dittner, Ed Bailey, Press Mahaffey, Greg Mahaffey, Bob Greer and Bobby Blanton. Honorary bearers are Jeff Latimer, Marvin Keck, Wayne Merideth, Dr. Bruce Scott and Jimmy Burton.
