Morna Marolda Obituary
Paige, as she was known by everyone she knew and loved, was born on April 30, 1982, in New London, and lived all her childhood years in the wonderful little town of Salem. She graduated from East Lyme High School in 2000, where she excelled in field hockey and softball and was a gifted artist and writer. She loved art and thought that would be her field of choice, but after a year and a half of college courses she suddenly and emphatically decided to pursue a career in something she loved even more - sailing. She went to Mystic and was hired as a deckhand on the schooner Argia. It was all water, winds, and sails after that.
Paige learned how to be an incredible sailor on the waters of Fishers Island Sound, Long Island Sound, and the Mystic River. After some time on local waters, she spent nine months as assistant engineer and deckhand on the tall ship Tole Mour sailing out of Long Beach, Calif. Upon returning to Mystic, Paige earned her 100-ton masters license and was hired as captain of the schooner Argia. She also had the opportunity to sail the Chesapeake Bay area where she did a stint as captain of the North Wind out of Philadelphia. In 2007, Paige had a hand in finishing and rigging out the brand new tall ship Mystic in Freeport, Bahamas and Panama City, Fla. She served as first mate on the Mystic during the 2007 summer season while she cruised the New England coastline.
Salt water, winds, and tides were in her blood, and she gave a precious portion of her life to the boats and people of the sailing community. She cherished every moment. She somehow found the time to continue her art work and her writing and travel to some incredible places with her family and friends.
Paige leaves the broken hearts of her mother and father, Victor and Jane Marolda of Salem; her older brother, V.J. Marolda of San Diego, Calif., and her younger brother, Dan Marolda of Pawcatuck; her wonderful and very special boyfriend, Daniel Phillips of Noank; her maternal grandparents, Philip and Judy Simmons or Essex, and her paternal grandfather, Victor J. Marolda of Waterbury; her many aunts, uncles, and cousins; and friends too numerous to count.
Everyone who had the opportunity to meet Paige was a better person for it. To be a part of her life was to be blessed. Her beautiful smile lit up every room she entered and touched the hearts of everyone she shared it with. She loved life and lived it to the fullest, and along the way she showed others how to do the same. Happy-go-lucky, caring, thoughtful, and grateful for all she had, a beautiful young lady inside and out, she will be remembered fondly by everyone lucky enough to meet her. As she never failed to remind us all, and as we all know in our hearts and will never, ever forget: "Paige Rules".
Calling hours will be from 5 to 8 p.m. this evening at the Belmont Funeral Home, 144 South Main St., Colchester. There will be a memorial service at 2 p.m. on Sunday at the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme, with a reception to follow in the church Fellowship Hall.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Paige's name to the Jimmy Fund, a charity near and dear to her heart.

Its been 15 years since your passing. What a crazy thought. When I talk about you, it feels as though we just hung out yesterday.
My heart still aches when I realize I will never be to see or talk to you anymore. So many ideas and adventures I still want to share with you.
I remember the countless hours we spent making music and writing lyrics to new songs. You were just amazing and so much fun to be around. Miss you so much Paige and your beautiful smile together with your ongoing positive energy.

In India they say that the real life is not on earth, but that this is only a test to see if u can make it to the better world. Paige passed the test. It was easy to discover she belongs to this better place. Happy birthday Paige. Much love and hugs to u and ur family.

Keigh and I talked on Paige's birthday (and before it) and she has been much in my mind (even though today is the day after). I miss my 'clone daughter' and think of her often, usually in the context of "Wouldn't Paige have gotten a kick out of that?" I am working in the garden we planted for her; the white lilac is not blooming yet but the leaves are out, and the tiger lilies are growing fast, getting ready to brighten the summer with the flamboyant orange flowers she loved so much. We planted it in front, so any friends who come by can see it.

It has been nine months since I was last in Mystic and I just heard about that tragic accident involving Paige yesterday.
I feel a sense of numbness as I remember how beautiful and kind she was. She was just a fantastic person with a lovely personality.
I remember I used to open the windows to my car and play "Whisky in the Jar" (remade by Metallica) oustide of Johns. One night Paige came up and asked if that was Metallica and mentioned she really really liked that version of the song. My car was later stollen in Boston in 2004 and with it my entire music collection. I remember diatribing to Paige about it while she just listened. Then one day I was in John's one WHOLE month later and someone had told me there was "something" for me. Paige had bought me a new Metallica CD and left a note saying "I'm sorry about your car. That really sucks man. This is to help restart your collection."
I cannot express very well the sense of emotion that rushed through my heart after that. It still makes me smile inside. That was such a selfless and giving act in a world that oftentimes manifests the more selfish acts of man. Everytime I saw her after that I thanked her over and over again. I never felt like I could say thank you enough or "do" anything that would restore the balance and she probably thought "whats this guys problem?" :) I feel now that none of those thank yous were enough.
I remember playing many many games of pool with her and her boyfriend (and throwing choice phrases back and forth with him as we battled it out on the green felt). Just sitting around shooting it became an anchor for me for several years.
We were not "CLOSE" friends so I can only imagine how everyone else who was closer with her feels. My heart goes out to all of you and I am very sorry.
I miss seeing your smiling face Paige.
Love Jeremy

I met Paige when she was 5 years old as I stayed at her grandparents' (Judith & Philip Simmons) house. She drew me an ice cream & a dolphin & wrote my name. I was 17 at the time & I felt I wasn't even able to draw like her. Her family became my adopted family as I came back regularly. I spent my last 9 Thanksgiving with them & even if I wasn't quite sure to be able to see everybody throughout the States, Paige was 1 of the people I was almost sure I would see & this thought was very comforting. I will miss it.

Growing up in a town like Salem, you know everyone and have the pleasure of really getting to know some amazing people. Without a doubt Paige was one of those amazing people. I have so many memories of her.......softball, field hockey, Green Devils. One of my favorites was the summer a bunch of us went to Roger William's softball camp. It was during one of the hottest weeks of the summer and when Paige showed up with an air conditioner needless to say we were all jealous. And then we realized the windows had bars on them and the air conditioner couldn't fit.....making the best of the situation she put the a/c on the chair and insisted we all hang out in her room. Long story short, we spent most nights that week in her room sweating, mopping up the water from the a/c but having the greatest time! Thank you Paige for being such a kind, generous and caring person, I feel so truly lucky and blessed to have known you.

To all experiencing the loss of Paige,
My condolences to you on a loss you never imagined you would experience.
Vic and Jane, I never met Paige; it's evident she's a beautiful girl! Not only on the outside, but reading this guestbook and announcement, she is beautiful all the way through.
Know that she has not left you, and I'm sure she's contributing to your life and other lives every day, she just isn't in front of you. Paige is in great hands, and experiencing pleasure in a way she couldn't have ever dreamed of. It sounds like she loves adventure, and possesses the characteristic of being fearless!
Wow!, how great to be in this world without fear. Sounds like she lived a life some on this earth for many more years than her haven't EVER experienced, and possibly never will. Fear usually stops us in our tracks. If she lived a life without being stopped, she lived an incredible life on earth. This also shares what wonderful, incredible parents you are! May Peace and Freedom of Grief be with you to know this is the life you gave her.

To the Simmons and Marolda family,
I was extremely sorry to hear about Paige and your terrible loss. She was such a good kid to help out and babysit Becca and Lexi during the memorial service for my Dad. Not many teenagers would have been willing to do that but Paige did. I know that all of you will remain strong for each other as you go through this terrible loss. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Dearest Marolda Family,
I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you all and remembering Paige for her wonderful smile, great sense of humor, and her kind and creative spirit. Many fond memories come to mind when I think of Paige and of your family...all of them so wonderful. I remember when we FINALLY got our trampoline (after being forced to rake the leaves from the entire lawn!) and Paige and VJ and "DanDan" came down to jump on it with us and we had a stopwatch and were timing each other and doing butt jumps and tricks on it and all taking turns. I always looked forward to when Paige would come to the camp; always with some cool game or activity for everyone to do and we would have so much fun on the rope swing or hanging out at the river... In all of my memories Paige is a beautiful, generous person. I will always remember her spirit and enthusiasm and carry it with me. I am thinking of you all at this difficult time and am always here for you.
Love,

Dear Jane and Family,
I had the pleasure of meeting and knowing Paige when she was just a 'little girl'; I did not know her as an adult but can clearly see she did become a beautiful and talented woman like her mom. Both Paige and VJ touched my heart years ago when I worked with Judy at Gales Ferry Peds aka the 'LERF" group. My heart goes out to you at this very difficult and painful time. Deepest condolences to you and your family.

Jane and Family,
I am absolutely heartbroken over Paige's passing. My thoughts are with your family and friends as you cope with your loss. My father, Pops, thought of Paige as another daughter, and I for sure always thought of her as a sister! I am sure they will meet in heaven and have a ball together!! They will look after us all with their strong hearts. Paige had an inviting, kind soul that you could see in her pure smile, hear in her humble laugh, and feel when in her uplifting company. She was one of the most beautiful people I have ever known and I will never forget her and the friendship we grew to have. One of the things I loved the most about Paige was her fearlessness for the world...always waiting for the next thing to come her way.
Much love, and my many thoughts are with you as you get through this difficult time.

Dear Marolda family,
Our greatest condolences from overseas. Paige was an amazing girl who managed to light up the faces of the entire Trieb family. It is difficult to believe how quickly such tragedies can happen. The memory of her smile, her vivid stories, her jokes, and her imagination along with her strength and caring made it easy to take her into our hearts. She truly was and will always be unforgettable.

Dearest Vic and Jane;
I met all of you for the first time last year on the Mystic during the Tall Ships parade. Your family left a lasting impression on me. The laughter, joy, pride, and excitement was so evident as you watched your beautiful Paige managing a multitude of tasks with ease. Her smile was just as bright as the moon light skies that surrounded the guests in the evening. The glow that was upon you as Paige boarded the waiting water taxi to take her to the Captain's Ball in Newport that special evening. My family and I still look at those pictures and smile with delight. Your daughter was fortunate to have you as her guiding light and vice versa. The loss of a child is not the normal course in life; however, may you find a very tiny speck of comfort in knowing that others share your sorrow. With each rising and setting sun upon the glistening waters, your beloved Paige will always be with you until your paths meet again. Remember, there are no good byes, just good memories.
With Sympathy,

We shared the same hall ways...Someone once told me that death is never easy and the lump in your throat and the tears behind your eyes will never dissapear but that we should reflect on how many years God did give you time with your loved one and to take the memories and live through them. Yes easier said than done, though in time this may come as a blessing in disguise. My thougts go out to you and may the strength and the love of Paige and God help you. Bless you all, she is not that far away, talk to her she is listening...

My deepest sorrow goes out to you all. All the people Paige touched in her life will remember that smile and the warmth she brought to each of us. Your closeness and genuineness as a family I have always admired and know you will endure. I will feel her presence as I walk the streets of Mystic and ply the waters of the Sound. She is and will always be "hooyah deepsea" to me. May you all have fair winds and following seas in the days, months and years to come!!! Be strong!!
Sincerely,

Vic, Jane, VJ, and Dan-Dan,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We wish that we could be back in Salem with you... I will always remember Paige as the toughest girl on Cedar Hill Lane as well as the most thoughtful person I have ever met. Paige exuded positive energy and one could not help but feel uplifted or smile just from being in her presence. I have so many wonderful memories of Paige throughout the years... I could easily write pages and pages of Paige stories... One of my most recent is from this past Christmas Eve. Paige had everyone that was there laughing to the point of tears and she managed to keep one and a half year old Markus awake and smiling until midnight! Markus loved playing with Paige and Dan's new puppy, Kingston, so much that night. Paige was thoughtful enough to bring Kingston down to our house on a busy Christmas Day so that Markus was able to see him again before heading back to Norway. That was Paige, always thinking of other people... We will miss seeing her beautiful smile but it will remain in our hearts forever.
We love you guys and we are thinking of you.
Much Love,

To the Marolda family,
I remember last summer sailing on the ship out of Mystic with Laura and her parents Mark and Linda Frausini . Laura and Amy both watched my handicapped daughter Nicole and my 4 yr old Paige. I know they are dear friends to you. I was so impressed by how skillfully your daughter Paige captained that boat and how you did it together as a family. I often would think of how accomplished she was and use her as an example of a woman in a most unusual occupation whenever I would talk about sailing. I know that you will have a difficult time in the days to come , but please know, she has touched so many lives and was a most awesome gift to anyone she came in contact with. We will say a prayer for you to be somehow comforted.

I know firsthand the horriffic pain that you are going through.I lost my beautiful 26 year old daughter in a car accident 2 years ago. She would've been 28 today May 10th. Mother's Day will never be the same for you,and neither will any other day. I am so sorry. You will get through it but you will NEVER get over it. Peace.

Mr. & Mrs. Marolda, VJ, and Danny,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I vividly remember talking with Paige in the Sea Horse last summer, and being so inspired by how truly happy she was, and by how much she had already accomplished in her life. I wish I could be there for you guys, especially you Danny. Nothing can describe the feeling of losing an older sibling, and the realization of how fragile life really is. The best advice I can offer you is to be proud of the amazing sister that you got to spend more than 20 years of your life with, and to never stop talking about her. You all now have someone very special looking after you.

Paige was the person i wanted to be, she was an inspiration to everyone around her. She and Dan were half the reason i moved to mystic. They both gave me the courage to take my sailing trip.

There are no words to express the greatness of your loss. We will always remember the beautiful tribute she made for Jane for Mother's Day and how the love she put on those pages brought tears to our eyes. And I know she was Daddy's girl. Two parents couldn't have been more loved or loved her more. Paige was so much of both of you, spontaneous, happy, spirited, alive with life. Those things about her will live on past her body in the hearts of all her knew her. Our sincerest condolences.

Dear Jane and Family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Paige's passing. I have so many wonderful memories of Paige while she was a member of the Green Devils Softball team. A couple years ago I was lucky enough to see Paige again as she was our Captain on the Argia. I was so impressed on how she handled the schooner. I thought, how could a little thing like Paige sail this big ship? She handled it with ease. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Paige will always be remembered in our thoughts and prayers.
