Romajean Messer, 80, of Mount Pleasant, died Friday, May 1, 2026, at the Prestige Care Center of Fairfield in Fairfield.
Born September 29, 1945, in Burlington, she was the daughter of Francis "Snook" and Evelyn Hartman Walsh. She married Robert Hutchinson but later divorced. On April 28, 1990, she married James Messer.
Romajean started her career at Bennett's Home Furnishings making drapery. She later went to work for Champion Spark Plug where she retired after 30 years.
Romajean was the kindest person you ever met. She had a great attention to detail and excellent organizational skills; both of which aided her greatly in her career and at home. She loved adding the finishing decorations that allowed her to make her house a home, and maximized comfort for her family.
Romajean loved baking, sewing and making delicious meals for her family. She loved going to family events, often with a camera in hand and a bag packed to ensure that all the needs of her family were met. It wouldn't be a surprise to find a first aid kit and an extra snack packed away for an emergency.
She loved her family deeply, and looked forward to spending as much time with them as she could. Her kindness, generosity, and attention to detail will be missed, but her legacy will continue on through all who love her.
