Jean Schaefer Payne, of Berwyn, PA passed away peacefully on Friday, January 18th, 2019. She was the wife of the late Thomas J. Payne. Jean had four children, Gwynne (John DiClemente), Graham (deceased), Ross (Diana), and Greig Kennedy. She is survived by seven grandchildren, William DiClemente and Julia, Lauren, Christopher, Aidan, Jordan, and Bryce Kennedy. Jean was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania where her long interest in Egyptian history began. A friend to many, Jean was known for her generous spirit. She was a joyful, optimistic and feisty ball of energy. Her dogs were her extra special friends and were like family. Cutting wood for the fireplace, decorating for Christmas, playing tennis, caring for her gardens, and cheering on the Philadelphia Eagles were among Jean’s favorite activities. Relatives and friends are welcome to attend a memorial service for her on Saturday, January 26th, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Francis-in-the-Fields Episcopal Church (689 Sugartown Road, Malvern, PA 19355).
