Rosalinda (Rose) Cristina Mesa, 70, of Cabot, passed away Thursday, February 25, 2021.  She was born December 3, 1950 in San Antonio, Texas to the late Arturo and Lucia (Guerrero) Mesa. Rose was an amazingly strong and confident woman. Throughout her career as an administrative assistant, she always found time to assist those around her on a professional and personal level building relationships that lasted beyond the work experience. Through many trials of raising her son as a single parent, including successfully holding multiple jobs, she stayed focused on family and providing care regardless of her own struggles. In her later years, she found genuine love when she met her future husband, Louis Oana, in Hawaii. She was a loving grandmother that cherished her grandchildren and wanted only the best for each of them. Rose also enjoyed a good book, watching birds, George Strait songs and spending time with her animals.  In addition to her parents, Rose was preceded in death by her husband, Louis Oana in December of 2020 and brothers, Arturo and Rudy Mesa.

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Leonard Mesa, Leilani Ulu, James Oana, Kaneala Oana, Priscilla Oana, Nelson Oana and Colby Rohan; twenty-two grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; her sister, Sylvia Mesa-Ramon; her brothers, Eddie Mesa and Raymond Mesa and many extended family members and friends.
