Charity Painter, 29, of Fayetteville, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, March 3, 2012. She was born Oct. 1, 1982, in Joplin, Mo., to Stephen C and Jon-Ann Painter. Charity was loved by many her short time here on this earth. She loved horses and spent countless hours riding on her grandparents' ranch. Life on the beach and the water in Florida was another favorite. We remember her sense of humor, smile and laughter that could light up a room. Her passion for life was inspiring. Her love of family and friends showed through everything she did. She will be dearly missed. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, George Anthony and Mary John Bieker; paternal grandparents, Charles F. and Willa Jane Painter; and brother, Stephen D. Painter. Survivors include her parents of Fort Walton Beach, Fla.; three sisters, Karen Painter of Springdale, Stephanie Conway and husband, Jamie, of Fayetteville, and Robyn Spencer of Fayetteville; brother, Charles Painter; loving boyfriend, Dominic Blevins; and several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and many friends.
