Regina loved her family. She was a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, wife, and mother, and adored her grandchildren and great granddaughter. She dedicated her life to caring for and giving to others.

She enjoyed crocheting, sewing, and crafts, making many gifts; cooking and baking for others, collecting many recipes, and sharing her love of special food from her home of Newfoundland.
