Macee Paige was born on April 7, 2007, Sidney, MT, the daughter of Aleshia Lorenz. She was such a bright young girl and loved everything and everyone. She welcomed a baby brother when she was 2 years old and adored him until he got older, then he started to annoy her like most siblings do. Macee learned to love him when they started enjoying the same interest. Macee started going to the Eastern Montana Bible Camp 2 years ago and loved it so much she wanted to keep going. She loved being around all her family and friends, Wednesday Night youth group and other fun events. Macee gave her heart to the Lord and praised him every day. She, her brother, and sister sang children bible songs every night with their Papa Tim. She loved horses. Every day she wanted to go see the neighbor’s horses and ride them. Macee’s favorite horse was Jo Friday; they were the best of friends. She enjoyed going fishing with her grandpa Tim, bike rides with her grandma Jolene, going to shop with Uncle Levi and taking random adventures with her Aunt Lacey. Macee loved school and made many friends. Her best friends/cousins were Rhett Rossol and Clementyne Bayless; they spent lots of time together at school, sleepovers and play days. In 2014, Macee met Canon Byers. In 2015, she welcomed a little sister and she just glowed for her and so much sissy time. They had their moments with annoying each other, but Macee has so much love for her siblings and family.
Macee became very ill on December 3, 2017 and was taking to the Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT. She was diagnosed with HLH blood disease which caused organ failure that led to other complications. On Monday, January 22, 2018, at the Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT, Macee went to be with the Lord where we will meet her again one day. Heaven has another beautiful Angel.
