Paige's Story

Meet Paige

Before there were rocks, maps, stories, and adventures, there was simply Paige.

The beginning

Before there were rocks

Before there were rocks, maps, stories, and adventures, there was simply Paige.

Paige was a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a friend. She was a traveler, a singer, a Disney lover.

She loved life, and she noticed the small things in it. She loved Disney, especially Frozen. She loved to sing, and she loved Shania Twain and Taylor Swift. She loved going places, and she had a way of turning an ordinary outing into an adventure.

She loved people, and she gave extraordinary hugs. She had her own expressions, her own humor, her own routines and quirks. If you knew her, you know the feeling of looking at each other and saying, "That's Paige."

What she lived with

Paige's journey

Paige lived with Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy. In 2022, at age 27, she developed schizophrenia. These things are part of her story. They are not what her story is about.

Dravet Syndrome was a major part of Paige's life. The challenges she lived with were real, and they shaped parts of her life in ways that mattered.

In 2022, at age 27, Paige developed schizophrenia. It was another hard chapter, for her and for the people who loved and cared for her.

But Paige was never defined by what happened to her. She was a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a friend. A traveler, a singer, a Disney lover. Someone who loved going places, who found joy, who gave love, who made memories, and who was deeply loved.

Her life was more than her diagnoses

Saying goodbye

September 5, 2024

Paige died peacefully in her sleep on September 5, 2024, at age 30.

But her story did not end there. The people who love her keep carrying it forward, and it keeps growing.

Carrying forward

The story continues

A little piece of Paige now travels through the world, hand to hand, place to place, adventure to adventure.

That piece is a Princess Paige Rock. The rocks are not a replacement for Paige. They are a way of carrying her story with us.

Each rock is an invitation to meet Paige, to know her, and to remember her. Princess Paige Rocks are how her story travels. Paige's Promise is what grows around that journey.

The story keeps growing

More photographs and memories are always welcome. The story keeps growing as family and friends share the moments that made Paige, Paige. If you have a memory to add, we would love to hear it.
