Obituary

Our beloved mother, Gladys Payne has passed away peacefully at home after suffering from Alzheimer’s for many years.  In life Gladys was an independent, loyal, caring woman, who came to America from the Dominican Republic in the 1950’s to join her sister Estella.  Gladys was the last of her 8 siblings (Maria, Estella, Víctor, Armando, Jorge, Pedro, Ivelicia Altagracia & Thomas Orlando) to survive from parents Alfred Payne and Emily Todd Payne.  During her time in America, she worked making costume jewelry, then became a caretaker  for many family members.  She was passionate about family, gardening, Dominican food and especially dancing.  She danced almost until her last days.  She was taken care of by wonderful aides, who cared for her like their own family members and who we can never thank enough.  Gladys, Ma, Nana, and Tia, you will be greatly missed.  You can now rest peacefully in your own beautiful garden.

The family will receive relatives and friends at the Ralph Giordano Funeral Home on Thursday, September 7, 2023 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held at the Ralph Giordano Funeral Home on Friday, September 8, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Interment to follow The Evergreens Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY.

Nuestra querida madre, Gladys Payne ha fallecido pacíficamente en casa después de sufrir de Alzheimer durante muchos años.  En vida, Gladys fue una mujer independiente, leal y cariñosa, que llegó a Estados Unidos desde la República Dominicana en la década de 1950 para unirse a su hermana Estella.  Gladys fue la última de sus 8 hermanos (María, Estella, Víctor, Armando, Jorge, Pedro, Ivelicia Altagracia y Thomas Orlando) en sobrevivir de sus padres Alfred Payne y Emily Todd Payne.  Durante su tiempo en Estados Unidos, trabajó haciendo bisutería, luego se convirtió en cuidadora de muchos miembros de la familia.  Le apasionaba la familia, la jardinería, la comida dominicana y especialmente el baile.  Bailó casi hasta sus últimos días.  Fue cuidada por ayudantes maravillosos, que la cuidaron como a los miembros de su propia familia y a quienes nunca podremos agradecer lo suficiente.  Gladys, Ma, Nana y Tia, te echaremos mucho de menos.  Ahora puede descansar tranquilamente en su propio hermoso jardín
