Our beloved Sophia Maryn Payne, 14, returned to her loving Heavenly Father on July 24, 2025, in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, while surrounded by her loving family. Sophia had so many friends, spanning all ages, genders, and abilities. She had no problem approaching anyone to strike up a conversation. Her magnetic personality drew others to her. She was known for her boisterous greetings and witty sense of humor. She had a fun and silly side that would leave you laughing hysterically. You could find her hanging out with her friends and cousins, making tiktoks, playing games, watching movies, shopping and talking for hours. She had a gift of making everyone feel special.
