In Memoriam

Holly Engel, June 2024

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of Holly Engel, a dear member of the FIRST Long Island community. Holly was an alum of FIRST Robotics Competition Team 514 from Miller Place. After graduating, she dedicated many years to volunteering for FIRST, quickly becoming a friendly and familiar face at our events. She served as a Pit Admin Supervisor and pit announcer for FRC, as referee and judge for FTC, and as referee, judge, robot inspector, and registration for FLL, as well as serving on the Development Councils for FRC and FLL. Furthermore, she also gave to the wider FIRST community through volunteering outside of Long Island. While we could try to calculate the hours Holly gave to future generations over the years, the impact she had on the FIRST Long Island family and the FIRST community as a whole is infinitely more. There are no words to describe how dearly she will be missed.

Holly’s family has created a digital memorial which can be found here:
