Donna Lee Payne Hayden Janney, 85, of Marble Falls died July 21. Born Sept. 24, 1926 in Tulsa, Okla., she was the daughter of Otto and Pearl Payne. She was the third of four children.
During the Depression they lived in the Tulsa area and helped work her great uncle's farm. Later they moved to Floresville/Sutherland Springs area of Texas, then to Corpus
Christi, then returning to Floresville a few years later.
She graduated from Sutherland Springs in 1944.
She married Edward Hayden in 1946 and had two sons, Jody and Gary. In 1951 she married Bill Janney and had four more children, Yvonne, Alex, Calvin and Jeffrey.
She has lived and raised her children in Houston, San Antonio, and Kerrville. Along with her husband Bill, she purchased land in Tow on which to retire. Unfortunately, Bill passed away in 1991 before they were able to do so.
Upon her retirement she did move to Tow and spent many years enjoying the company of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren at the lake.
The story of her life is full of stories that range from having polio as a child and being healed by a Navajo shaman to walking out of Walmart and having her pants fall down; from fishing in the river to teaching her children how to swim it and from rocking babies to worrying if they would make it home safe at night, or safe from war.
The story of her life is that through joy and pain, through laughter and tears, through love and heartache she lived with all the love a mother's heart could bear for her family no matter what. We will miss you.
Donna was preceded in death by her parents, husband William Price Janney, sister Evelyn Payne Woods, brothers Melvin Payne and A.O. Payne, grandson Matthew Hopkins and great grandchild Liam Hayden-Aguilar.
She is survived by her daughter Yvonne Shuffield and husband Fred of Tow, sons: Edward Hayden and wife Sherry of LaPorte, Gary Hayden and wife Claretta of Pasadena, Alex Janney and wife Quahn of Bangkok, Thailand, Calvin Janney and wife Sandra of Chandler, Ariz., and Jeffrey Janney of San Antonio, 21 grandchildren and 1 on the way, 17 great grandchildren and her sister-in-law Jamie Payne of Rio Rancho, N.M.
