Wallace Winford Payne

Wallace Winford Payne, age 84, of Gainesville, GA went to be with the Lord on Thursday, July 11, 2024. He was born in Alpharetta, GA to Eulies Payne and Irene Payne. Wallace dedicated thirty plus years to Flower’s Foods. He spent countless hours sharing the gospel with those who needed God. He co-founded True Way Baptist Church and dedicated it to the Lord. Wallace spent his life sharing the gospel to everyone that crossed his path. He didn’t just attend church – he was a man of God everywhere he went, spending most Sundays after church spreading the word of God in nursing homes. He was well loved and will be truly missed.
