Regina was a loving mother and homemaker raising five children. She loved to cook for family and friends, never letting her “runt” size stand in her way. Regina was an active member of All Saints Church in Denmark and active within her community. J.R. and Gina enjoyed time spent at their “hideout” in Amberg, camping, ongoing card battles, traveling with friends, shopping, and spoiling her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
