Paige Lynn Roberts
Paige was a 2009 graduate of Turpin High School and went on to graduate from Miami University’s Farmer School of Business in 2013. Following her college graduation, she had a successful career at Cincinnati-based Unlimited Systems – a healthcare administration software company. As the owner of the company described her, “Paige was the heartbeat of our company. All of our clients knew her, and both clients and fellow employees always commented on her positive attitude and amazing smile.”
Tragically, Paige lost her life in 2020 at the young age of 29 due to a sudden blood clot condition. Paige was well known for her love of church, family, friends, and her relentless commitment to high morals and character. She was the friend others could truly count on. Paige felt strongly that people of character and faith needed to “show their light” in their community by being an integral part of it – not staying in their “safe spaces” where only faith-based people congregated.
Family & Friends
As a typical first-born child, Paige was a curious, obedient and hard-working child. While Paige worked hard for good grades, at sports, and her jobs she didn’t have to work hard at loving people.
Paige was born with a love for people whether you’re family, friend, neighbor, or teacher. If you got within arm’s reach, she was generous with her bear hugs. She was always available to listen, whether you needed advice or just a shoulder to cry on. Quietly Paige sought out ways to brighten people’s day as if it brought her more joy than the recipient. Paige was a trusted, dependable friend to so many during her 29 earthly years and God truly blessed her with the best of the best in friendships.
Due to numerous family gatherings, family ties were strong. Anticipated holiday rituals became cherished traditions. Attending church with extended family created a close bond that was dearly loved by Paige. She had a special connection with her younger cousins and they adored her as well.
Faith
While still a child, Paige accepted Jesus as her Savior. As her faith grew, she desired the sacrament of baptism and in her late teens her dad had the privilege of baptizing her. Paige enjoyed learning about biblical truths through Sunday School, bible studies, mission trips and her Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU) group at Miami University.
American Heritage Girls
While still in its early years as a scouting organization, an American Heritage Girls (‘AHG’) troop was organized at Paige’s elementary school. The values of loving God, cherishing family, honoring our country, and serving the community were a perfect fit. Paige worked her way through all the scouting levels of AHG and received its highest honor of the Stars and Stripes award while in high school (equivalent to the Boy Scout’s Eagle Scout award). Paige gave back to her troop by mentoring the younger girls in her troop until she left for college.
Loves
In addition to her faith, family and friends, Paige’s indulgent loves included books-lots and lots of books, all things Royal and English (including teas!), attending community plays and Broadway shows, Boomer (her rescued dog), historical interests, and board games. She was especially gifted at trivia as her ability to quickly recall details was incredible.
