Mary P. Regina, in her 100th year, and, as life begins at conception, more than 100 years life on earth, passed away on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, in Albert Einstein Medical Center in Onley Park, Philadelphia. She was a 10 years massive stroke survivor, 9 years double breast cancer survivor, 2 years cardiac arrest survivor and multiple blood clots survivor. Mary was the recipient of many miracles during her health struggles but two stand out. Despite being wheelchair bound, from the Fall of 2015 to April of 2019, Mary was able to attend Holy Mass for 176 consecutive Sundays and, following hospitalization from a blood clot in 2015, in spite of her many health issues, she was able to avoid being hospitalized or needing a nursing home for 49 consecutive months, from March of 2015 to April of 2019. Both of these miracles were achieved by Mommy and Tommy, trusting in the Lord together. Born in Duquesne on March 8, 1922, she was the daughter of the late Thomas and Agnes (Voyak) Mracin. She was a member of Mary Mother of God Parish, St. Angela Merici Church and St. Thomas the Apostle Parish, Holy Name Church where she was formerly a member of the choir and the bereavement group. She was the wife of late Stephen J. Regina Jr.; mother of late Stephen A. Regina, late Kenneth S. Regina, David T. Regina of West Mifflin, and Thomas (Tommy aka “EP”) Regina of Duquesne, beloved son and 10 years faithful sole caregiver, affectionately known as “Mommy and Tommy”-soulmates; sister of Katherine Schmidt of California, late Frank Mracin and late Carol Sabovik.
