Regina Dreyer

Regina Theresa (Eells) Dreyer, loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 29th, 2020, at the age of 92.

Regina was born on February 13, 1928 in Philadelphia, PA to William and Helen (McCarthy) Eells.

On October 23, 1948, she married the love of her life, William Dreyer. They raised nine wonderful children, three sons and six daughters.

Regina absolutely loved her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. They were truly her pride and joy.

She had a passion for cooking, reading, dancing, and her faith. She was a devout Catholic and inspired faith in all her children. She was also an avid music lover, especially Frank Sinatra. She was known for her quick wit, infectious laugh, warm hugs, and sharp mind.

Regina was the ultimate matriarch and caretaker. She would do anything for her family, whether it was cooking a luscious meal, making a beautiful bed, or being the Mary Poppins of grandmothers (caring for the newest grandchild and even the parents of the newborn).

Regina was preceded in death by her father, William, mother, Helen, husband, William, and her seven siblings. She is survived by her nine children, Margaret (Edmund), Regina (Frank), William, Joseph (Ann), Thomas, Kathryn (Kevin), Helen (Patrick), Frances (Barry), Patricia (Richard), 20 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren with 2 more on the way.
