Regina was known for her inspirational, kind-hearted, selfless, and thoughtful nature. As a licensed practical nurse, she dedicated her life to helping others, caring for those in need with compassion and grace. She was also a devoted Navy wife, serving alongside her husband at several military bases throughout the United States before settling at their final assignment at Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville.

An avid Jaguar fan, she was a proud season ticket holder and enjoyed playing cards, going to Zumba classes, Line Dancing, and traveling with friends and family.
