Reggie was a wonderful wife, mother and Baba. She loved spending time with her family and doted on her grandchildren. Reggie never forgot a birthday, anniversary or holiday. We could always count on receiving heartfelt cards from her, covered in stickers, with the ‘important’ words underlined and many exclamation points! You couldn’t be in a room with Reggie without smiling and laughing. We will miss her smile, her colorful language and most of all her incredible spirit.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in Regina's memory may be made to American Red Cross, PO Box 37839, Boone, Iowa 50037.
