In addition, she is survived by many nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, cousins, and extended family members who will cherish her memory.

Regina attended Mercy Technical School and went on to build a life marked by steady work, reliability, and a strong sense of responsibility.

Outside of work, Regina enjoyed a rich and active life filled with hobbies and community involvement.
