Ashley Nicole Joy Paine, 12, of Oak Ridge went to her heavenly home Sunday, November 11, 2007. She was born December 26, 1994 in Oak Ridge, the daughter of Donnie and Laurie Paine. Ashley was a 7th grader at Robertsville Middle School where she was active in the Titan's Club, enjoyed singing in her school chorus and had been a member of the track team in the past. She was also a member of Midway Baptist Church in Clinton which included involvement with the youth group and several activities such as camping at the Bill Rice Ranch. She was a beautiful, vibrant girl who loved playing basketball, softball, flag football and most of all soccer with the AYSO teams. Her goal in life was to 'Save the World' and she accomplished that goal by donating her organs to several recipients so that she can continue to live in us all. She loved helping others and is loved by many and will be greatly missed.
