Paige Elizabeth Oldenkamp, daughter of James and Erica Oldenkamp and Sarah (Mercer) and Justin Kernen was born August 24, 2000 in Bellevue, Nebraska. She graduated from Bedford Community High School in 2019. Paige excelled on the volleyball and basketball court during her high school years at Bedford. Paige then attended Southwestern Community College in Creston where she continued her volleyball career.
Paige and Zach Haffner began dating on February 4th, 2017 and were to be married August 27th, 2022. Two children, Rhett Allan Haffner, born December 17, 2020 and Tucker James Haffner, due May 18th, 2022, blessed the couple. Both Rhett and Tucker were loved by their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and all who were privileged to share the many pleasures they brought into Zach and Paige's home.
Paige had a personality to be reckoned with, and you always knew when she was around. She had the most beautiful smile, was outgoing, and had a sense of humor that was non stop and a ridiculous obsession with potatoes. Paige passed these traits along to Rhett, making him a very happy toddler, always smiling and flirting with the ladies. Even though he hadn’t met Tucker yet, Rhett loved to kiss and hug Paige’s belly, giving his baby brother the best love. He had a love for the outdoors and was all boy. Rhett was a TikTok star thanks to his Aunt Ninny who began making them with him at 6 months old. He loved his great dane, Harley, who also lost her life. Paige had a close relationship with her brother, Quenten and her sister, McKenna and loved them both dearly. Paige also had a very close relationship with her mother, Sarah and Rhett shared that same bond with his Gigi. The bond between mother and daughter was also passed on between Paige and Rhett, and would have been passed to Tucker as well. Paige dearly loved being a companion and mother and excelled at both. Paige lost her life fiercely protecting her babies.
