Danielle Elaine Messick's Obituary
Loving Mother and Wife
Danielle Elaine Messick, “Sis”, age 48 of Laurel, DE, passed away on March 2, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on May 1, 1974, in Rome, NY, daughter of Daniel and Elaine (Papini) Tesoro.
Danielle graduated from Lake Forest High School in 1992. She started working for Eckerd Drugs in 1989 and continued to work for Rite Aid for 34 years. Danielle loved sunflowers, the beach, reading, crocheting, vacations to Knoebels, and camping trips both near and far with her boys. She loved plants, which was evidenced by her beautiful collection in her sunniest window at home. She also enjoyed campfires and watching the sunrise while drinking coffee with her best friend, Eric. These memories will be cherished by her family. Danielle was a loving and devoted daughter, sister, mother, aunt and friend and her presence will be missed by those who were fortunate to have known her.
In addition to her parents, Danielle is survived by her loving husband of 22 years, Eric Messick; her sons: Tyler and Lucas Messick; her grandchildren: Mason and Tanner Messick; her brothers: Wayne Tesoro (Amanda) of Milford, DE, Joe Tesoro (Rachel) of Felton, DE, and Jason Tesoro (Kathryn) of Dover, DE; and her many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
