Regina was a beautiful woman! She had exquisite taste in decorating and was so fun and friendly with a beautiful smile. This is heartbreaking.
Nicole, so sorry for your loss. Jim & Jeanie Lachner
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Tim & Gina Huesgen
I love how she loved my daughter, Cora, just like her own granddaughter. Her life revolved around Carsyn and Kellen’s happiness, and I’m so glad I was able to know her, if only for a short time. Sending Tessa, Jeremy, and their family lots of love and prayers during this difficult time.
Regina was 5 years old when Bill and I got married. She was out cute little flower girl and Wayne Hofstetter was our ring barrier. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember Regina from high school, as a very nice sweet person. I know she will be missed. God bless Patrick Stonner
My favorite memory of Aunt Reg is a collection of her consistent reaction to the same event over many years… Grandma Clara was very hard of hearing and therefore could not hear how to pronounce “Regina” the way that Reg preferred: rə-JEEN-ə. Grandma’s best attempt involved interpreting her written name as rə-GEEN-ə, which is technically not wrong, but was just not how Reg pronounced it. So, every time Grandma saw Reg, she greeted her as rə-GEEN-ə. Never did I detect that Reg was annoyed by this. In fact, my favorite memory is the consistent sweet warm smile she projected toward Grandma in those moments. That memory will stand paramount in my mind. Tessa, Jeremy and family: I know these past months have been very hard for all of you and you are all in my thoughts and prayers! Brian O.
With loving memories of my Aunt Regina Orscheln
Sincerest sympathy for all of the family and may God bless you all!! I went to school with her and saw her a lot when Mom was in South Moniteau Club.
Our sincere sympathy to Tessa and family, as well to all the extended family. So sorry to hear of her passing, she is now at rest in God’s peace. Treasure all the memories!
