Regina moved to Maumelle in1992 and to Conway in 1999. She was a lifetime member of St. Anne Catholic Church in North Little Rock, which her family helped build.

She was in charge of a wonderful group of ladies who cooked once a month for 50 to 60 homeless at "Our House" in Little Rock. Regina took over the food donated to "Helping Hand". The donations flourished under her hand. She loved to help those in need, read, cook, and garden. She was a devout Catholic and is with her beloved Lord now.
