Ree Drummond‘s family business recently lost one of its workers.
Drummond told People in an interview published on Thursday, September 18, that her 26-year-old daughter, Paige, no longer works on the family’s Oklahoma cattle ranch. Paige had worked on the ranch since last fall, but recently moved to Dallas with her husband, David Andersen.
