Regina Stanton

Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend, Regina Stanton, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, May 7, 2023, at home surrounded by family. Jesus saw she was getting tired and stretched forth his hand and said, “My child, come home.” Regina was born on March 16, 1958, in Detroit, Michigan.

Regina grew up in Panola, Alabama, where she attended school. In 1975 she moved to Saginaw, Michigan. Regina accepted Christ at an early age and was a longtime member of St Luke CME Church under the leadership of the late Reverend Aaron McFadden; currently, Pastor Joyce Braddock-Redfearn. She worked many years at Covenant Hospital where she retired and formed many positive special relationships.

Regina was a very friendly, nurturing, and loving person who loved spending time with her family and friends, especially her great-grandchildren. She enjoyed cooking, baking, sitting on her porch out in the sun, and doing small arts and crafts.
