With her name meaning, "Queen," she was the monarch and matriarch of her family. Reggie was known for her quick wit, her infectious smile, and her kind, compassionate spirit. She always had a passion for cooking and baking "goodies" and held many family traditions, especially around the holidays. Throughout her life, she enjoyed traveling to Atlantic City with her niece and best friend, Jeanette.

The things that Reggie will be most remembered by is her deep love for her family and how dedicated she was as a grandmother. Reggie was preceded in death by all of her 9 siblings: Lena, Ralph, Alfred and Silver "Teddy," Eva, Caroline, Antoinette, Blanche and Martha.

In the last years of her life, Reggie had an extraordinary team of home health aides. Her family expresses deep appreciation and gratitude to those who cared for their beloved mother and grandmother.
