Paige was born in Denton on July 7, 1987 to Darnell and Tina Ross. As she grew up soccer became her everything, she found a love for the game. She played all the time, from the time she was seven and into college. Anyone who has seen her play understands her drive and passion for the game. That same passion spilled over into her personal life and everything she touched.
She loved with her whole heart all the time, all or nothing. Her heart was huge, she loved everyone, she was giving, kind, and she was a good friend. She was a real character of living and loving life to the fullest, never met a stranger, could make you smile and drive you crazy all in the same sentence.
After college she moved around to follow her passion in the kitchen. She was the kitchen manager of Jalapeno Tree in Wichita Falls until being transferred to Canton to open their brand new store and then to Tyler. She has always wanted to move back to be around her family, they meant the world to her.
In December that dream came true for her, she was able to move to Fort Worth. Paige spent the last four months making it home. She found two new jobs, absolutely loved her new car, and loved spending time with her nieces and nephews.
She is survived by her father, Darnell Ross; mother, Tina Trawick and stepfather, Kenny; great grandmother, Mary Sue Tomlin; sisters, Victoria Carter and husband Jay, and Kassidy Gaston; brothers, Tyler Trawick, Bryan Trawick, Dylan Ross and Hunter Ross; and numerous nieces and nephews.
