Regina Massa

Regina L. “Reggie” Massa passed away at the age of 73 on March 6, 2026, at 6:25 AM at The Gibson Family Center for Hospice Care in Terre Haute.

Losing Reggie isn't just a family and friends losing a loved one, it's an entire community losing a member. To know Reggie was to know unconditional love, quick wit, sarcasm, a great sense of humor, and legendary cooking. To not know her, you must have been doing something before noon. She could brighten anyone's day with her smile and laugh. And she loved to laugh. Reggie will be missed by many and reminisced about for years to come. I hope they have chocolate in heaven.
