Paige Mackenzie Saye

Paige Mackenzie Saye of Overgaard passed away on Wednesday, November 12th, at home, surrounded by her family, at the age of 36. She was born on May 28th, 1989, in Tacoma, Washington, and was raised in Arizona, where she later met her loving husband, Tee Saye. Together, they raised their son, Aizik, and their daughter, Ayva.

Paige dedicated her life to her family and friends, but she also deeply loved her work at White Mountain Pharmacy. She spent several years pursuing her education to become a pharmacy technician, during which she developed a passion for helping others in a professional healthcare setting. She was well known for devoting her time and energy to the people she loved, including those she served and worked alongside.

Paige found joy in so many parts of life, crocheting cozy blankets and hats, feeling the freedom of the open road on her motorcycle, and escaping to the mountains or lake for peaceful camping trips. She treasured quiet moments with her pets just as deeply as the time she spent with her children and her husband, always seeking out opportunities to create meaningful family memories. Some of her happiest moments were shared with those she loved: camping by the water with the Howard family, celebrating special events with the Hoffman family, gathering around the table for home-cooked meals with the Van Deusen family, and staying close through long conversations and video calls with the Groe and Starkes families. Paige greeted every one of these moments with joy, gratitude, and a full heart, embracing the people and experiences that meant the most to her.

Paige devoted her life to the people she loved, and that devotion never faded, not even as she faced breast cancer with a bravery few could comprehend. She met her diagnosis with remarkable courage, choosing every day to uplift those around her and to savor each precious moment with her family. Her strength was quiet but powerful, and her grace never left her. Those who knew Paige will forever remember her generous heart, her warm and genuine smile, and the determination that carried her through every chapter of her life. She walked through the hardest moments with undeniable grace and a spirit that refused to be dimmed. That spirit, fierce, loving, and unbreakable, is why "PaigeStrong" became more than a phrase. It became a reflection of who she truly was.

Paige is survived by her husband: Tee Saye; her children, Aizik Saye and Ayva Saye; her parents Nora Martin and Ron Dennis; her siblings Ashleigh Groe, Morgan Dennis, Olivia Wenisch, Jacob Hynds, Dakota Martin, Alli Starkes, Daron Dennis, and Faith Martin; her nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Anne Howard, her aunt and full time caregiver, alongside with Kevin and the hospice care team for the wonderful care Paige received.
