Evon Kemper

Walkertown – Ms. Evon Pinnix Payne Kemper, 78, was called home to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, October 18, 2019 at Kernersville Medical Center. She was born on February 16, 1941 in Wilkes County to Doris Shore Pinnix. Evon was an amazing woman with a heart of gold. She made sure that everyone around her knew that they were loved and taken care of. She loved every one of God’s creatures and made sure that they never went hungry. Evon took such pride in her flowers and all the things that she grew in her yard. She was a loving mother, sister, and friend who will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her son, Ricky Payne (wife, Lisa) of Pfafftown; one brother, Kenneth Pinnix “Blackie” of Kernersville; several nieces, nephews, and cousins; and her very special friends, Joe, Emily, Jacob, and Makayla Cook and Linville and Sadie Goad all of Walkertown.
