Payton L. Partain

Payton Lynne Partain, 17 months old of Lehigh Acres, died in her parents arms Thursday, June 24, 2010. Payton was born on January 5, 2009 in Gainesville. She was always full of life and love. She always had her bright big eyes looking right up at you. She was always ready for a hug and a kiss. She loved dancing and twirling around. Her life was too short. We are not ready to let Payton go. But God needed Payton as a beautiful little angel in Heaven. He has work for her to do. We know she is already dancing and twirling around in Heaven for Mema and Da and grandma and grandpa, her family said.

She is survived by parents Arlette Patricia Bransfield and Paul Joshua Partain “Josh,” grandparents Denise and Mark Spaniak Houghtaling, William (Lori Flipse) Bransfield, Rhonda Korpi and Paul Partain, great grandparents Arlette and Gary Spaniak Sr. and Shirley Grimm, Aunts Alexandra Bransfield, Brittney Bransfield, Billie Jo Bransfield, Brandi Bransfield, Caitlin Houghtaling, Amber Houghtaling, Amanda Flipse, Rebecca Flipse, Khrista Flipse; uncles Jeffrey (Brittany Holzinger) Partain, Matthew (Leslie) Korpi, Ryan Korpi; great uncle Gary (Jodi) Spaniak Jr., Brian Bransfield, Kevin Bransfield and Don Partain; great aunts Laura Bower, Maureen Moravec and Janice Partain and a great great-uncle Dennis (Linda) Spilotros.
