Age 63, passed on Sunday, January 31, 2021. Regina (Jeannie) was born on July 19, 1957 in Oak Cliff, Texas and was the eldest of 5 children born to Alice and Albert Dunn.
Jeannie, as she preferred to be called, was raised in Arlington, Texas, graduating from Arlington High School and then attended Texas Tech University.
She met her future husband, Steve Coggins, while attending Texas Tech and they were married on January 7, 1978. Their first son, Adam Paul, was born in 1982 and second son, Phillip Joel, was born in 1985.
Jeannie went back to school and finished her bachelor’s degree in Education at Texas Tech in 1989 and loved her teaching career at Christ the King Cathedral School, Estacado High School and finally at South Plains College-Lubbock Campuses for the last 25 years.
She earned her Master’s in Secondary Education from Sul Ross University in 1998 by attending on weekends, traveling with her best friend Delores Martinez. She found great fulfillment in helping both young and returning older students. She believed in them and helped many to realize their potential.
Jeannie loved her family above everything and was the “rock and the listening ear” for her sons, husband, and siblings. She will be forever remembered as a loving mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and educator.
