Melissa Hagberg, Trinity '06, passed away Saturday, Oct. 21 at the age of 22.
At the time of publication, the cause of her death could not be determined.
"Melissa was smart, funny and blonde," wrote Puja Ghandi, a high school classmate and graduate of Pennsylvania State University, in a tribute to Hagberg on her blog. "She will always be loved and missed."
Hagberg is survived by her parents, William and Margaret Hagberg, and her siblings, Barbara, Kelsey and Billy Hagberg.
