After her formative years on Rice Hill of Highgate, Vt. she became, early during World War II, a "Rosie the Riveter" at the Naval Aircraft Factory in Norfolk, Va.

Near and after retirement, her travels continued and included England, Germany, Spain, Morocco, Canada, and, in the past 10 years, throughout most of the United States. Her U.S. travels were done alone with her little Ford Escort including a journey to Alaska.
Regina took great pride in her son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren and enjoyed her independence.
Regina is survived by her son, Michael Stewart and his wife, Lynn of North Granby, Conn.; her two grandchildren, Gwen Stewart and Ross Stewart; her two sisters, Esther Combs and her husband, Melvin of Richford, Vt., and Donna Ryea and her husband Richard, also of Richford.
