    I grew up watching the beautiful Allison Payne in the 90s. She was the whole package of beauty, intellect, professionalism, and grace. You were a true role model for all of us young girls in Chicagoland who saw a familiar face in yours. Because of your presence on WGN News, many us have sought to better our lives through higher education and some to pursue careers in journalism. Thank you, Ms. Allison Payne, for being a beacon of light to this world. Rest in peace eternally.

      How did she pass? What was the cause of death? Can we assume this occurred shortly after being vaccinated? Probably a good assumption since government and the MSM doesn't put it out there, like when Hank Aaron and Marvin Hagler both contracted CV and died shortly after being vaccinated.

    I am in shock! When I lived in Chicago she was one of my favorites. I followed her career and WGN after I went back to the east coast I admired her and WGN was my favorite station. Class, Integrity, Grace, and Dignity -- she had it all. Her beauty was obvious but the characteristics that made her a great journalist and teammate were not obvious to the eye. My prayers are for her family, friends, her WGN family and all in Chicago touched by her professionalism.

      You lack understanding. Stop being angry at God because he isn't angry with you. God gave his creation free will. The creation (man and angels) made the wrong choices. Stop blaming God. Every day we have the freedom to choose to do good or evil. Many still choose to do evil knowing what they choose to do is wrong and will not produce good fruit.

      The bible compares our life to a vapor that quickly disappears, or a plant that is here today and gone tomorrow. Do you think about what happens after you are gone? Where is your soul going? Have you heard of a place called heaven and a place called hell? Today I want to urge you to surrender your life to God. Salvation is gifted to us from God out of pure love. All we need to do is believe and follow Jesus Christ. This scripture sums it up.
      For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
      Turn your life over to Christ today, tomorrow may be too late. If you have any comments or questions feel free to ask me.

    A very warm, thorough, respectful tribute. What jumps out is that from 47 to 57 she seems to have been away from her chosen profession, broadcasting. That horrible stroke experience must have been more serious / devastating than first indicated. If so, those last 10 years much have been awful.

      Absolutely! Thank you for bringing this point to light. Someone inquired on what was her cause of death was and stated maybe it was the COVID vaccine. Really? Did he not watch the same video we did? She left Chicago to come back to Detroit 10 years ago. Covid didn’t hit until 2019. Duh??? This is how rumors get started.

    I missed this broadcast. I remember walking down aisle 11 of the Jewel Foods store in Illinois i worked in at the time and seeing her at the service desk being assisted. I never met her in my life but, while walking toward the service desk, i saw her from behind but, instantly recognized who she was. As i got about halfway down the aisle she finished her business at the service desk and, turned left, while stepping back slightly from the counter then, while taking a step forward, she looked left down the aisle i was in and, we quickly exchanged glances. She walked forward made two rights to head for the exit door. This was a few hours before the 9:00 p.m. broadcast. That memory is so vivid. I'm only five years younger than her. Rest in peace sister.
