Lillian Paula LaRossa

February 4, 1929 - May 13, 2022

Lillian Miceli LaRossa, of Melville, sadly passed away on May 13, 2022 at the age of 93. She was pre-deceased by her beloved husband, Daniel T LaRossa. She was a loving mother to Vicki LaRossa and Lisa LaRossa-Haid (Billy). She was the cherished Grandmother to Ryan, Allie, and Casey Haid. Lillian was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan to immigrant parents from Sicily. Later the family moved to Bensonhurst Brooklyn where she attended New Utrecht High School. She went on to graduate from Brooklyn College with a degree in Elementary Education. She met her husband Dan while attending Brooklyn College and they married shortly after graduation. She taught at PS 201 in Brooklyn for several years, before moving to a home in Melville. There she taught elementary school and later went on to work as a reading specialist for the Farmingdale School District. Reading was very important to her, coming from a home where her grandfather was illiterate; he emphasized over and over again the importance of reading and education. Lillian loved her years teaching at Farmingdale and made lifelong friends within the community. She enjoyed Folk Dancing and Music Festivals. After retiring, her education continued as she and Dan joined a Roundtable Organization at Stony Brook University. This was stimulating and interesting, and they made many new friends there. Lillian and Dan loved to travel, visiting Europe many times, especially her beloved Italy. Lillian loved her two daughters and son-in-law dearly, and she cherished her three Grandchildren. She will be greatly missed. Donations can be made in Lillian's memory to: Last Hope Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation PO Box 7025 Wantagh, NY 11793 https://lasthopeanimalrescue.org/files/memorial_donation_form.pdf
