I rermember exercising with her when she was on TV. Later, as an adult, I invited her to entertain my Senior Volunteers at their annual Volunteer Recognition Luncheon inthe nineties. She was quite a personality!!

My condolences to Paige's family. When I was a very young girl, my Mother and I would exercise with Paige while watching her program. I have thought of her often and was just recently advised of her passing by my childhood friend. Truly, she was a beautiful woman ahead of her time.

My condolences to the family. I met Paige several times over the past 10 years through events at Kent State University. We seemed to hit it off and I always enjoyed our conversations. She was a very special lady.

My heartfelt condolences to the family of "Paige Palmer" one of the geatest exercise teachers of the past. I was on one of her 8 week series on TV along with my sister-in-law and we found she was made of steel and ambition. I then ran classes in Twinsburg and Nordonia Hills using her weighted bar, leotards & tights. We all did well following her lead and I dropped 4 sizes in those 8 weeks. May God Bless her family and know she is in a better place, finally no pain but only comfort.

I want to thank Paige for the support and little jobs she helped me with when I was just in my teens up till my marriage at 19. She was an inspiration-- tough as nails.

I also am very sadden to hear of Paige's passing. My first memeorie of Paige was when she had me ( as a hair dresser) to her home to give a demonstration about wigs when I was employed by Polsky's department store. Again many years later we reunited at Akron General Medical Center were we spoke of her cherished memories at Kent State and all the activities she was STILL involved in. I only wish I have half the energy she had at her age.
My deepest sympathy to all the family.

My Mom also worked out with Paige in front of the TV. In 1965 a friend introduced me to Paige. I was 12 at the time. My friend Bonnie Millers mom worked for Paige. She was a very kind person and will be missed by many. She was a true pioneer. Tom Boyes

We are going to miss the charm and wit of this fine lady. From the TV exercises of the `60 to the Ohio Region, Classic Car Club events she was hard to beat. Gob Bless.

It was with great sadness that I learned of Paige's failing health and her death. I first met Paige when Bath residents were working to preserve the Firestone property. It did not take long for me to learn what a determined person she was. When I visited her at Sumner, I was always greeted so cheerfully. It was a joy to spend time with her and to learn of her many interests and good works. Her family has beeen in my thoughts and prayers. May she rest in God's loving embrace as her loved ones who have gone before welcome her to her eternal home.

One of my earliest childhood memories was watching my mom excercise with Paige. She had her equipment as well. I remember Paige as a beautiful, elegant lady who always had a smile on her face. My thoughts and prayers are with her family, she rests in the hands of God now.

As a regular performer on The Gene Carroll, I often would see Paige in the dressing room. She amazed me by her long stockings and her professional attitude. She always smiled at everyone. It was her nature.
Sad to see all these wonderful personalities go, one by one.
Condolences to her family.

Paige was always a special friend to me. Through the years as the Carousel Dinner Theatre grew, Paige was always one of our greatest champions with her advice and thoughts. We shared many friends in the television field including a dear friend to both, Eve Rubenstein. She will always be remembered in our hearts as the worldly, charming, and elegant lady who was always a smiling supporter. My sincere condelences to the entire family. I am sure she is resting with the angels.

I was a graduate of Paige Palmer Modeling school. She was way ahead of her time when it comes to exercising. We use to have so much fun on her TV show. Now when I here the boom of thunder I will think of her because she will be teaching the angels how to do the "fanny bumps"
My thoughts are with the family of this great lady.

A great Northeastern Ohio legend has left our midst. So many memories of my mother on the living room floor doing her exercises with Paige Palmer. Then, at the morning PTA meetings, all the moms would discuss that day's program. So, to her family---I say THANK YOU for sharing this fine lady and please know that many "fans" wish you strength during your time of grief. God Bless you.

My condolences to the Paige Palmer family. I still have memories of Paige in her full-length leotard exercising on morning TV when I was growing up in the '60s. She was one of those local celebrity icons who will never be forgotten. God bless.
