Regina was born and raised in Aurora. She graduated from West Aurora High School in 1960. She worked for
Western Electric/Lucent Technologies/AT&T for 32 years. She had a passion for cooking and when she retired
from AT&T she wanted to start her own catering business. Diagnosed with breast cancer put this dream out of
reach. Regina enjoyed making birthday dinners for family & friends; in addition, making sure everyone close to
her had a birthday cake or dessert. This included neighbors, coworkers, restaurant employees who she enjoyed so
much, the dialysis center patients and employees, and even gas station attendants. She always went out of her way
to make people feel happy and loved. Regina also loved to travel. Regina and Wally went on a total of 9 cruises,
traveled the Artic Circle in 1996, California, Florida and trips to Minnesota. She enjoyed fishing in Galesburg with
family and would never give up; sometimes from sunrise to sunset without ever a bite. Regina also loved
gardening. She had a huge garden in her back yard and would sometime plant over 20 tomato plants. These fresh
vegetables and herbs would be used in her cooking. Always fresh herbs, never store bought. Regina was a loving
wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and mother-in law. Regina made friends where ever she went and her
smile encouraged you to be a better person. Once you met Regina, you would never forget her.
