December 20, 1980 - April 4, 2026

Hillsboro Resident

F. C. Daehler Mortuary

Barbara "Barbie" Ellen Malone, 45, of Hillsboro, Ohio, passed away on April 4, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family and friends.

She was born on December 20, 1980, and from the very beginning she lived with a big heart and an open door. Barbie loved nothing more than having her family together. She had her husband, Tony Malone, build a big deck on the back of their home so she could fire up the grill, feed everyone, and sit outside laughing and talking. She was the rock of the family, the one who held everyone together, especially during holidays, birthdays, and remembrance gatherings in her backyard. During the summer months, her home became the place to be, with pool parties for anyone who wanted to come over and feel like family.

Barbie worked in retail and was known for her warm personality and kind spirit. She had a gift for making people feel seen and cared for, whether they were a customer, a neighbor, or a relative. Her gentle nature and big heart touched more people than she ever realized.

She was preceded in death by her son, Jonathan Lampkin; her father, David Hill of Hillsboro, her brother, Jeremiah Hill of Hillsboro, and her paternal grandparents, Barbara and Richard Hill of Hillsboro, along with other loved ones who now welcome her home.

She is survived by her husband, Tony Malone, whom she married on September 25, 2013; her son, Brian Lampkin of Hillsboro, her mother, Kathy (Liming) Hill of Dayton, her brothers, Donald Hill of Hillsboro, and Eric Adams of Peebles, her sister, Crystal (Tim) Easter of Hillsboro, her maternal grandparents, David and Artia Liming of Hillsboro, her grandchildren, Xavier, Lamar, Zendaya, Joshua, Violet, Kali, and Maya; and one great-grandchild, Steven. She also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who loved her dearly and will miss her deeply.

Barbie's legacy is one of love, generosity, and togetherness. She will be remembered for her cookouts on the deck, her backyard celebrations, her open invitation to anyone who needed a place to belong, and the way she always put family first. Her spirit will live on in the stories shared around the table, in the laughter at future gatherings, and in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her. In keeping with her family's wishes, Barbie will be cremated.

Keith Edward Payton

Keith Edward Payton

January 1, 1957 - March 18, 2026

Portsmouth Resident

F. C. Daehler Mortuary

Keith Edward Payton, 69, of Portsmouth, Ohio, passed away surrounded by family and friends who loved him.

Keith was raised by his father, Joe Payton, and his adopted mother, Dorothy Conklin (Payton), who taught him the value of hard work, kindness, and simply enjoying the little things in life. He was a 1975 graduate of Minford High School, and he carried the pride of being a Falcon with him throughout his life.

Keith spent many years working and truly enjoyed the opportunities his job gave him to travel and see many great places. He loved sharing stories from the road and talking about the people he met and the sights he was able to experience along the way.

At home, Keith was happiest in the simple moments: sitting on the porch, watching his favorite westerns, and cheering on college football. He adored his dogs and treated them as part of the family. Keith was very much a “go with the flow” kind of guy, easy going and steady, and people naturally felt comfortable around him.

For 36 years, Keith shared his life with his significant other, Kathleen "Kathy" Lavey, who was his constant companion and best friend. Their bond was one of deep loyalty and quiet, everyday love.

Keith is survived by his daughter, Tara Payton of Muscatine, Iowa; his three grandchildren, Zoe, Ashlynn, and Caden, who brought tremendous joy and pride to his life; his three sisters, LeeAnn Scherer of New Boston, Ohio, Jolynn (David) Craft of New Boston, Ohio, and Judith Steinmentz of San Jose, California; and Wilma Mowery of South Carolina.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Joe and Dorothy Conklin (Payton), and his daughter, Kendra Payton.

Keith will be remembered for his gentle spirit, his love for his family, his easygoing nature, and the way he enjoyed life in his own quiet way. His memory will live on in the stories shared on front porches, the sound of a football game in the background, and the unconditional love of a loyal dog at someone’s feet.
