Obituary for Regina Jackmauh
Regina Jackmauh 95, beloved wife of Anthony Jackmauh passed away peacefully on May 22nd, 2022 at home. Regina was born in 1927 in Nanticoke, PA , a small coal mining town. Her family moved to Ansonia, CT and then to Hartford, CT. Regina graduated from Hartford Public High School. Regina was proficient in shorthand and dictation and she was happy to immediately find employment with the State of Connecticut Department of Social Services upon graduation. She worked for DSS for a short time and then worked as a secretary in the Governor’s office where she enjoyed working for Governor John Lodge.
Regina often spoke of the fond memories of working in the Governor’s office. She spoke highly of her co-workers and maintained life-long friendships with a couple of her colleagues. She enjoyed being involved in several activities with her co-workers and friends from the Knights of Lithuania club. She especially enjoyed ski trips to Canada, bowling, playing volleyball, playing the piano, drawing and painting, and enjoyed polka dancing at the Lithuanian club.
Regina met her husband Anthony at a Knights of Lithuania dance. They married in 1958 and settled in Hartford, CT where they had their son John. They moved to East Windsor a few years later and had their son, Alan and daughter, Donna. They lived in East Windsor for the rest of their lives.
Regina was a founding member of Saint Philip’s Church in East Windsor. Regina enjoyed being a member of the Parish Council and she enjoyed working in the kitchen on bingo nights and participated in countless events and programs that the Church offered. Regina’s faith in God and her devotion to the Blessed Mother was her strength throughout life.
In her recent years, Regina enjoyed playing Pokeno with Janet, her home aid and angel. They shared many laughs and dramatic wins and losses together. Regina loved doing word find puzzles for hours at a time. She was an avid, ‘Wheel watcher’ and did not like it when college football games interrupted that routine.
Regina will be remembered as a special lady for her loving, caring ways and for always being there for family and friends. She prayed the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet daily for everyone she loved.
Regina was predeceased by her husband, Anthony, her son, John, her brothers Joseph and Anthony and her Sister, Albina. She leaves her son, Alan, her daughter, Donna and her grandson Alan and her sister in-law Irene Jackmauh. She also leaves many nieces and nephews.
