Paige Elizabeth Kiefner's Obituary
Paige Elizabeth Kiefner, age 26 of Lewes, DE, passed away on Thursday, July 22, 2021, at Beebe Healthcare, surrounded by some members of her family. She was born in Towson, MD on January 19, 1995, beloved daughter of Raymond, Sr and Pamela Kiefner.
Paige was a graduate of Cape Henlopen High School, Class of 2013, where she enjoyed being a member of the flag team. She loved animals, especially her beloved Lucy, Cookie, and Luka, who guarded and protected her always. Paige loved the ocean and being around the water. She was even holding her breath underwater by 18 months old and really enjoyed being a lifeguard at the YMCA. Paige had many friends with whom she maintained a constant digital connection; her phone always attached to her hand. Above all, she was a strong girl, who handled her trials and challenges with poise and grace. Paige was a loving and devoted daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend. She was loved by all and will be deeply missed by those who were fortunate enough to know her.
Paige was preceded in death by her grandfather, Frederick Smorada; and her cousin, Glenn Leatherman, Jr. She is survived by her adoring parents, Raymond, Sr and Pamela Kiefner; her brothers: Raymond Kiefner, Jr. and Michael Garrett; her grandparents: Shirley Smorada and Nancy & John Pedersen; her aunt, Kellie Leatherman (Glenn, Sr.); and her cousins: Aileen Limon-Rios, Tamara Leatherman, and Sandra Leatherman.
