Obituary - Rose Messina

On Sunday, August 10, 2019, Hauppauge lost Rose Messina at Age 97. She was a gem in the community.

Rose was one of the original founders of the Hauppauge Sideliners Club and remained a member for over twenty-five years. She started cooking for the Hauppauge Wrestling Team in 1969 and continued organizing dinners for the team, which eventually led to multiple teams her children played for. Her dedication to the teams back in the day evolved into every sports team today in Hauppauge enjoying an end of the year awards banquet.

She was a team mom seamstress and cook for every sport her children played in from Little League Football, wrestling, baseball, field hockey, Eaglettes, cheer leading, volleyball, track, dance and theater play in school 

ROSE made many of the costumes for school musicals and plays her children and grandchildren performed in.  She was inducted into the Hauppauge Hall of Fame in 2011 as an honorary member and in again in 2018 with her entire family.
