It is with shattered hearts that the family of Paige Pickering shares the devastating news of her passing. Paige was born on March 11, 1995, in Milton, Ontario, and moved with her family to Cochrane, Alberta, in 2007.

A proud graduate of Cochrane High School, Paige was a five-time Honour Roll student who excelled both academically and athletically, especially as a valued member of the track and field team. After graduation, she became an intricate part of the family business, where her dedication, compassion, and love for animals shone through every day.

Paige was known for her kindness, authenticity, and remarkable strength. Her resilience was unwavering, and her love for her family, her Molly doll and friends knew no bounds. She lived life with passion, finding joy in every moment and sharing that joy generously with those around her.

Paige had a deep love for music and expressed herself beautifully through singing and songwriting. She found immense inspiration in her idol, Avril Lavigne, and will always be remembered for her creativity and spirit. Beyond music, Paige loved camping, hiking, photography, and spending time outdoors.

She is lovingly survived by her parents Lorraine and Adam Pickering, her brothers Cody (Allison) and Nolan Pickering, her auntie Kathleen (Colin) King, uncle Christopher Pickering, aunt Sydney Pickering and cousin Ellie Terrana, grandparents Shirley King and Bob (Laura) Pickering and great-grandparents Fay and Albert Kruyff.

Paige was predeceased by her grandmother Catherine Kruyff, grandfather Hallan King Sr., and uncle Dustin Kruyff.

Paige was, and always will be, deeply loved and remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her light will continue to shine in the hearts of those she touched.

A celebration of Paige's remarkable life will be held in June or July.  Details will be shared in the coming months. For those who wish, donations may be made at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-paige-pickering-and-her-family
