Barbara Payne was born September 15, 1936, in Philadelphia, PA, the daughter of the late Clara M. Schaul and Thomas Schaul.
Barbara Payne attended the Philadelphia College of the Bible and served as a pastor’s wife for more than 21 years at Calvary Baptist Church in Woodsville, NH, Wayside Bible Baptist Church in Livermore, ME, and Emmanuel Baptist Church in Ellsworth, ME. She also taught in the elementary school at Wayside Christian School in Livermore, ME, and at Mountainside Christian Academy in Schroon Lake, NY.

Ray Payne, devoted their lives to caring for the families of fallen police officers and grieving fellow officers all over the country. She considered the Law Enforcement community to be her extended family. She was a member of Peace Officers for Christ and Concerns of Police Survivors.
