Rosa Marie Haga

December 7, 1954 - April 20, 2022

Rosa Marie Haga, 67, of Monroe, NC, and a lifelong resident of the Charlotte area, died unexpectedly at Atrium Waxhaw on Wednesday, April 20, 2022, from injuries sustained in an auto accident. Rosa was born in Charlotte, NC, on Tuesday, December 7, 1954, the daughter of Everett and Judith Whitehead Parker. She grew up in Charlotte, attending Garinger High School. After school, while working at Royal Wire Products in Derita, she met the love of her life in Mr. Kerwin Haga, a fellow employee. They were married on January 18, 1980. When she wasn’t working, Rosa enjoyed gardening, planting flowers and vegetables, and taking trips to the mountains, especially Cherokee, NC. Although good at it, according to those who got to eat what she made, she would tell you that she was not a fan of cooking, even though she also went to work for the Union County Public Schools in the cafeteria. Most of all, Rosa was a loving wife, mother and grandmother who was devoted to taking care of her family. Rosa is survived by her husband of 42 years, Kerwin; her mother, Judith; her two children: Kevin Hucks of Monroe and Charles Travis Haga of Monroe; her two grandchildren: Alyssa (husband Wyatt) Hucks Howell of Monroe and Hayden Hucks of Monroe; and her two siblings: Gail Snead and Benny Parker. She is further survived by numerous other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her father. Rosa’s family has given the family of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home the privilege of caring for her and for them. The family will receive friends on Friday, May 13, from 6 to 8 pm at the funeral home with services beginning at 6 pm. Thank you for keeping the family in your thoughts, prayers and acts of kindness.
