She was born on May 31, 1956, in Jackson, TN, the daughter of the late Dennis Earl and Dorothy Reasons Thompson.
Regina was a dedicated transcriptionist at the Cancer Care Center of Jackson before retiring. She was known for her unwavering faith as a strong Christian and being an active member of Gregory’s Chapel Assembly of God. Regina’s love for music shone through as she played the piano for The Joylanders. Her commitment to family was unparalleled as she never missed a baseball game when her son played travel ball.

Thompson; grandchildren Ella Kay Smith and Rhett Walker Smith; nephews, Kami Thompson, Kyler Thompson, Kodie Thompson, Kasey Thompson, and niece Cynthia Kirkpatrick (David); great-nephew Brock; great-niece Leighton; and life companion, Billy, along with numerous other relatives and friends.
