Arline P. Sarver, 71, went to be with her beloved Savior on November 20, 2021. She passed peacefully at home with her family and dogs by her side. Arline was an adored wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, and sister and her family is forever grateful for the precious time we had with her. She was born, December 13, 1949 to Clyde and Elaine Black Payne in Greenville, South Carolina, moving as a young child to Illinois where she resided until her death. Arline's mother, (Elaine Payne, 95) passed away on the day of her daughter's death accompanying her to heaven. She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Raymond of Champaign, daughters, Tisha Sarver of Champaign and Tonya (Joshua) Mikeworth of Tolono, as well as a bonus daughter, Victoria Mantels of Champaign and bonus son, Justin Bartlett of Urbana. Also surviving are her sister, Phyllis Payne of Tolono and brother, Ron (Paula) Payne of Florida, grandchildren, Caleb, Zi, Austin, and Lydia. Arline was a homemaker and loved nurturing her family. She was an example of God's grace through-out her entire life. She trusted God and remained her sweet funny self through-out all her illnesses and never doubted God's goodness. She spent countless hours each day reading her Bible and praying for loved ones. Arline loved the book of Psalms and they always brought her comfort. There will be no public services. Her family will be continuing to celebrate her life and the impact she made on each of us. We will miss you dearly and yearn for the moment when we see you again in Heaven. Take care of her God until we meet again! Calvert-Belangee Bruce Funeral Home, Farmer City is assisting the family with arrangements.
