Regina's mother was born into the largest family in New York State, with over 20 siblings who all lived within a block of each other in the city of Rochester. They continued that tradition into adulthood when they moved to the suburbs. Later, her parents moved next door, and, in her retirement, Karla moved to their street. We apologize to the neighbors. The family was their own village and raised each other. Regina graduated from Holy Rosary and Jefferson High School. She attended Keuka College and earned her bachelor's degree in nursing from the Genesee Hospital School of Nursing in 1957. She worked and taught at The Genesee Hospital and The Genesee Hospital School of Nursing. Regina worked as our school nurse, and in Pediatrics and Obstetrics throughout her career until she retired in her 70's. Regina met her husband 70 years ago in the high school library and they married in 1957. They settled in Greece, New York and had 3 children whom she adored and treasured. Regina went by many names. To her parents and brother, she was Jean. To her husband, she was Reg. To her children, she was Mom. To Aunt Helen and Uncle Eddie, she was Lardy. She was also Mrs. I, "Fave", Freg, Jeannie, and Reggie. Her home was always open to friends and family with weekly get-togethers, and she was thought of as the neighborhood Mom. She had numerous artistic hobbies over the years including calligraphy and crocheting. She was an excellent seamstress, as taught by her parents, and often made her children's clothes. She was actively involved in the community with local politics, PTA, scouting, coaching and she never missed a soccer game or concert. In her later years, grocery shopping was a weekly social excursion, meeting up with family and friends and making new friends. She routinely drained the shopping cart battery on her motorized cart having spent hours there. Her kitchen was her home-base and she taught many friends and family how to make sauce, homemade macaroni, gnocchi, and pizza. It was a true Italian home that was loud, chaotic and, most importantly, loving. Regina and her husband travelled, enjoyed boating, and spending time at their second home in Florida as she continued to accumulate many dear friends. She remained close to her high school and nursing school classmates. Regina sent innumerable cards and she later poured through Facebook, stalking and connecting with friends and family both old and new. She followed kids' soccer games, weddings, births, accomplishments, and was excited for successes. Regina had a deep faith. She curled up her little hands together and prayed nightly, having said she never prayed for anything that she didn't get. Regina suffered numerous catastrophic illnesses later in life but simply refused to succumb. Her tiny 5 foot tall frame fought heroically, and she came out each time with more smiles, laughs, and a bigger appreciation of family. She disliked becoming dependent in recent years. Her daughters lovingly cared for her. She was simply the strongest woman we knew, and we wouldn't have had it done any other way and neither would she, despite her complaints. She brought to our lives an infectious humor that came from her father, quick wit, warmth, love, joy and she simply loved life. She will be dearly missed and joyfully remembered.
