Colby-Sawyer Mourns Melissa Molin '16

Office of College Communications Apr. 5, 2016

On April 4, Vice President of Student Development and Dean of Students David Sauerwein shared with the college community news that a member of our Colby-Sawyer family, Melissa Molin ’16, passed away that evening due to injuries sustained in a single-car accident.

The college community extends our deepest sympathies to Melissa’s family and many friends as they try to come to terms with this devastating loss.

Melissa was a psychology major working to realize her dreams of becoming a counselor, and she was a member of the swimming and diving team.

Counselors were available Tuesday, April 5, for students, faculty and staff. The college’s flag has been lowered to half-staff.

The accident occurred at mile marker 24.8 in the northbound lane on I-89 in Sutton yesterday afternoon. There were no passengers with Melissa. State Police ask anyone with information regarding the accident to contact Trooper Michael Catalfamo at 603-223-4381

Visiting hours will be held Friday, April 8, from 4 to 8 p.m. at 301 Country Club Road in Avon, Conn.

The funeral will be held the next day, Saturday, April 9, at West Hartford United Methodist Church at 1:30 p.m. The church is located at 1358 New Britain Avenue in West Hartford, Conn.

The obituary for Melissa is available here.
