A quarter-century after Mimi Paige’s tragic passing, her impact on Asheville still shines. Many remember her not just as a trusted News 13 anchor, but as someone who truly loved animals and the outdoors. The dogwood tree at The North Carolina Arboretum stands as a living tribute, and the Mimi Paige Foundation continues her mission of responsible pet ownership. It’s powerful to see how one person’s passion can ripple through a community for decades. How do you think we can best honor local figures who’ve made a difference in our lives? #Entertainment #Celebrity #Asheville
