Regina was a member of the Red Hats Society and was always there for anyone in need.   Regina was lucky enough to have found a partner later in life in the late Miles Limbert. They were kindred souls who brought each other comfort and happiness. Along with Miles came a large extended family that took her in as one of their own and she became a mother, grandmother and even a great grandmother to them. After retirement she never slowed down, joining in many community events and delivering meals on wheels. As she downsized and moved into Turnpike Terrace Regina again helped those around her being the driver for friends and neighbors to the farmer market, shopping trips, doctors appointments, ice cream trips and her weekly church run. Pastor Kevin Setzer became a big part of Regina life over the last several years and was a true friend to her. She was a proud member of the Body of Christ Church and took immense pride in her girls joining her in helping with the Christmas dinner and deliveries to those in need.
