Paige's obituary
Paige Alexis Sanders was born on January 21, 2013, in Newport Beach, California. She arrived early, keeping her parents, Kristen and Dustin, on their toes from the very beginning.
Paige was an only child until 2014, when her sister Madison was born. From the earliest days of family beach trips to frequenting Disneyland and their more recent ice-skating outings, the two share a joyful and playful sisterhood. Whether in quiet moments or fits of laughter, their connection is uniquely theirs—a relationship built on love, trust, and countless shared memories. They have an everlasting bond.
Paige has a huge heart and the most infectious laugh. Her love for her mom, dad, and sister shines as brightly as her love for animals—especially her cats and her horse. Paige feels most at peace when cuddling with her cat, Kitten, or riding her horse, Barney, where her calm focus and empathy radiate.
Always finding happiness in life’s small moments, Paige cherishes time with her family in Havasu, collecting seashells and playing with cove sand, or enjoying little indulgences at home like caffeine and chocolate. She also loves adventures, from creating mini-adventures in daily life with family and friends, to traveling far and wide, like to her favorite place in the world, Hawaii.
During her time at elementary school, Paige was honored as “Champion of the Month,” a testament to her kindness and character. As she transitioned to middle school, Paige excelled, making the honor roll during her first semester with a 3.67 GPA. In recent years, Paige discovered her passion for equestrian riding, a pursuit where her dedication to the family motto, 'We don’t try; we do,' truly shines.
Paige is survived by her loving parents, Kristen and Dustin Sanders, and her sister, Madison Sanders. Their love for Paige, and her love for them, is eternal.
A celebration of Paige’s life will be held on Monday, December 2nd at 4:00 PM at Coast Hills Church, 5 Pursuit, Aliso Viejo, CA. The family will begin to receive guests at 3:30 PM. Guests should dress comfortably in Paige’s favorite colors: shades of teal, green, blue, and pink.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to The Shea Center to honor Paige’s love for horses and equestrian riding.
Paige’s playful spirit, radiant laugh, and big heart continue to shine brightly through the lives of all who love her.
