Philip Reginald Payne

April 3, 1931 – November 8, 2024

Beloved father, grandfather, farmer and community member Philip Payne died peacefully at Victoria Manor at the age of 93. Predeceased by his wife and partner in all things, Genevieve (Sedgwick) Payne, he will long be remembered by children Megan (Jeff Payne), Bruce (Jennifer Ackert), Nancy (Denis Grignon) and Valerie (Scott Iverson), by grandchildren Madeline, Conor (Bailey), Sydney, Nikita, Yannick, Jonah (Rose), Esmé and Christian, and by dear friend Mary McKay. A former councillor, deputy-reeve and reeve of Ops Township and warden of Victoria County, Philip was prouder of his other legacies, his loving family above all else, and will be remembered as a gifted cattleman, a respected judge of character, a willing volunteer and a person of deep integrity. An informal time of visitation will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 28, at Cambridge Street United Church in Lindsay, followed by a memorial service at 11:00. In lieu of flowers, donations in Philip’s honour would be welcomed by Parkinson Canada or the Mission and Service Fund of The United Church of Canada.
