Theresa Payne went to be with the lord after a long battle with Sickle Cell

Ms. Theresa Payne was born in Oakland, California on December 16, 1972. She attended elementary and middle school in Oakland, California before relocating to Fresno, California, and then later to Sacramento, California. Theresa was unexpectedly called home at the young age of 46, on November 7, 2019 after a long battle with sickle cell. 

Ms. Theresa Payne was a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, aunt, cousin and friend. Theresa leaves behind her mother Luciile Burnam, great grandmother Florine Rollins, grandmother Ella Herron and siblings Kevin Barksdale, Ajeanette Barksdale, Tamu Barksdale, Shimron Barskdale, Torsh Barksdale, Neamiah Barksdale, Timothy Barksdale, Shobal Barksdale and Ollie Barksdale.

Theresa was a caring, compassionate person who loved her family.  Theresa had a huge heart and was known to be a giver, and for that she will be greatly missed. The relationship Theresa had with her siblings was like no other; she had a very close knit relationship with her mother and especially her two siblings Kevin and Anjeanette. Theresa's presence in our lives will truly be missed.

Most of all Theresa adored her host of nieces and nephews, but she had a special relationship with her nephew John who was with her in her last days.

When you think of Theresa, celebrate the good memories you have of her. Remember that life is fragile and short and should be lived to the fullest.

Theresa is proceded in death by her great grandfather Ernest Burman, nephew Deonte Green, aunt Linda Burnam-Franklin was just like a second mother and brother Ural Barksdale.


A Letter From Heaven

When tomorrow starts without me and i'm not there; think of all the good times we shared. 

I wish so much that you wouldn't cry; and know in your heart this is not good-bye.  While thinking of the many things that we didnt say, put your hand over your heart, dry your tears and celebrate.

With all the true love you gave to me, god blessed me with you for 46 years, think of all the good times and dry your tears.

Today starts a new day without me though we are far apart, just know that I'm right here with the lord jesus christ and in your heart.


Missing My Sister

Theresa we had our ups and downs, we argued, laughed and cried together, I have watched you since I was a little girl go through alot.

As we got older, I realized how strong you were when you started working, you never let your disability stop you from doing anything you wanted to do.

Im missing you so much and I never thought I could miss someone that always talked crazy to me but honestly I will.

I try not to be sad and cry for you, but its really hard not too, especially when I think about our deep talks and how you expressed the way you looked at life.

Apart of me is happy for you, and a part of me is sad but most of all I know how you hated hospitals, so my my heart is happy that you were at home when god called your name. 

I will forever miss you, sleep softly, love your big lil sister Angie.

You can to the family or in memory of Theresa Payne.
