Payne, Jaynann & Dean
Provo, Utah 
 Jaynann & Dean Payne
PRACTICED LAW IN PROVO

 
Jaynann was a Brigham Young Academy Foundation Member. Dean Payne and 
Jaynann Morgan Payne were BYH parents. OBITUARY: Dean Wilford Payne: The 
Dean Payne family mourns the passing of their beloved husband, father, and 
grandfather who returned home with honor on Wednesday March 15th 2006, from the 
effects of a pulmonary embolism. Dean Wilford Payne, was born October 17, 1926 in 
Washington D.C., to Wilford Houghton Payne and Blanche Ellsworth Payne. After 
serving a two-year LDS mission to the Northern States, he studied at Brigham Young 
University where he met Jaynann Morgan. They were married on June 29, 1948 in the 
Salt Lake Temple. He completed his Jurisprudence Doctorate at the University of Utah 
in 1952, and practiced law in Provo, Utah with his father-in-law, J. Rulon Morgan for 
many years. He was a member of the Utah State Bar Association for over 40 years. He 
relished his various calls to serve in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 
In every calling and especially as the patriarch of his family, he magnified his 
priesthood and found great joy blessing others. He held positions in his home ward, 
BYU and MTC wards including that of bishop, counselor, high councilman, and Stake 
Mission President. Dean and Jaynann served a public affairs mission in the Philippines 
for two years from 1995-1997, and just completed a two year hosting-mission in August 
at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in Salt Lake City. He was active in civic 
organizations, some of which included the Boy Scouts of America, the Red Cross, and 
as County Chairman of the Republican Committee, and President of the George Albert 
Smith chapter of the Sons of the Utah Pioneers. Dean honored his pioneer heritage 
and loved telling stories of his ancestors. Dean was a lifelong student and the children 
thought of him as a walking encyclopedia of fascinating information about almost any 
subject but especially history, geology, science, the scriptures, language, music and 
fine arts. He conducted early morning and late-night scripture study and organized 
unusual family home evenings. He loved traveling and people of other cultures, 
hence, he gallivanted about the world with his wife and children soaking in all the 
history and culture in what the children called "hysterical pilgrimages." Dean and 
Jaynann welcomed into their home and hearts countless young people from all over 
the world who were in need and who lived with them for months or sometimes years 
and were treated as their own children. The family has many "adoptees," still beloved, 
with whom they maintain contact. Dean was a great collector! Not only of children, but 
of coins, stamps, books, rocks, paintings and music. He loved to bathe the children 
and read to them at night and tuck them into bed. He was witty and had a great sense 
of humor. He loved to wrestle, joke, tease and banter with his children and 
grandchildren. He dearly loved his 69 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren and 
enjoyed teasing them. When the children would ask how much something cost, he 
would reply "Oh, eleventy two fifty plus tax." Or if they asked where he was going he 
would say "I'm going to see a man about a double bird dog." Dean was an exemplary 
family man and only the Savior took precedence over his wife and children. His 
testimony of Jesus Christ and His Atonement was always a beacon to his family. He is 
survived by his wife of 57 years, Jaynann, and twelve children: Susan Carole A.K.A. 
Shoshanna Rose (Stephen) Miller, Medford, OR; John (Edie) Payne, Provo, UT; Janice 
(David) Hymas, Highland, UT; Evelyn (Robert) Naylor, Fremont, CA; Wilford (Jill) 
Payne, Aloha, OR; Edward (Karen) Payne, Chandler, AZ; Benjamin (Heather) Payne, 
Gridley, CA; Nancy Escobar Herrera, Provo; Thomas (Louise) Payne, Springville; Julie 
(Ben) Paz, Springville; Rachelle (Jason) Baum, Pearland, TX; Rosalie (Jonathan) 
Lines, Yuma, AZ. Dean is also survived by his siblings: Marjorie (Edwin) Seely, Louise 
(Bill) Wilhite, David (Elodie) Payne, Kathleen (John) Benson and Helen (Robert) Asay 
and a sister-in-law, Jennie Payne, whose husband, Kay, Dean's older brother, 
preceded him in death. Funeral services will be held Monday, March 20 at 11 a.m. in 
the Oak Hills Ninth Ward (Hillside Chapel) on 1960 North 1500 East, Provo, Utah. A 
viewing will be held at the church on Sunday from 6-8 p.m. and again Monday at the 
church from 9:30 to 10:45 preceding the funeral. Interment will be at the Provo City 
Cemetery. [Provo Daily Herald, March 17, 2006.]
