Manville, Rhode Island, is grappling with overwhelming grief after the sudden and tragic loss of one of its brightest young stars, Paige Moreau. A dedicated and passionate architecture major at Roger Williams University (RWU), Paige passed away unexpectedly following a sudden brain hemorrhage, leaving her family, friends, classmates, and professors reeling from the unthinkable loss.
Paige, whose ambition and creativity lit up every room she entered, was more than just a talented student — she was a friend, a daughter, a teammate, and a light to all who knew her. At just 21 years old, Paige had already touched so many lives, carving a path of excellence both academically and personally. Her drive to design spaces that brought people together reflected her own spirit: warm, inclusive, and visionary.
Friends and classmates at RWU recall her infectious enthusiasm, tireless work ethic, and boundless compassion. “Paige wasn’t just studying architecture — she was dreaming of changing the world,” one classmate shared. “She had this way of making you believe that anything was possible, simply by being herself.”
Professors who had the honor of teaching Paige remembered her as an exceptional talent, a student who embraced every challenge with grit and grace. Her projects often blended technical brilliance with a profound sense of humanity, always seeking to create beauty that served a purpose. “Paige had a gift — a rare combination of heart and skill that you don’t see often,” said one of her mentors. “Her future was limitless.”
Back home in Manville, the news of Paige’s passing has left a deep scar. In a town where she was known not only for her achievements but for her kindness and empathy, the pain of her absence is profound. Friends speak of Paige’s laughter — genuine and contagious — and her unwavering support for those around her. Whether volunteering, mentoring younger students, or simply being a shoulder to lean on, Paige exemplified the best of what it means to be part of a community.
Paige’s family, devastated by her sudden loss, shared a statement:
“Paige brought us immeasurable joy and pride every day. Her life, though far too short, was filled with purpose, passion, and love. We are grateful for every moment we had with her and take comfort in knowing she made the world a better place while she was here. We ask for prayers and privacy as we mourn our precious daughter and sister.”
A candlelight vigil will be held on the Roger Williams University campus in the coming days, allowing the community to come together in remembrance of Paige’s beautiful life. Details for funeral services in Manville will also be announced shortly.
As Manville and RWU mourn, they also celebrate the extraordinary legacy Paige Moreau leaves behind — a legacy of kindness, brilliance, and a commitment to dreaming big. While her time here was far too brief, the impact she made will be felt for generations to come.
In honoring her memory, let us all strive to embody the spirit that Paige so effortlessly shared with the world: to love deeply, to work passionately, and to leave every place a little brighter than we found it.
Rest in peace, dear Paige. You will never be forgotten.
