Ms. Partridge was born on 4 May, 1952, in Wabash, Indiana, as the first-born daughter of Eugene Bishop and Sheryl Jean Stauffer. She was married to Bruce Wayne Partridge of Springfield for 24 years. He survives in Springfield, IL.
Also surviving are their children, Tyler B. (Teresa McDonnell) Partridge, Tampa, FL, Lindsay K. Partridge, Clarksville, TN, and Haley M. (Travis) Haldeman, Las Vegas, NV; six grandchildren, Thatcher B., Tula J., Teddy T., Aamiyah S., Hadlee J., Hudson C.; her sisters, Shauna Hausle, Ogden, IL, Vanessa (Mark) Leiker, Colorado Springs, CO; two nieces and three nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Eric Stauffer.
Regina graduated from the Memorial Hospital of Springfield, School of Nursing and selflessly served as an active Department of the Army Registered Nurse at Fort Campbell, KY. Mom always said "I'll probably work until the day I die." She certainly touched countless lives throughout her 45+ year career and remained a woman of her word until the very end.
Regina was a terrific cook, jewelry maker, gardener, mother, and grandmother. She was a bird watcher, a card saver, and dog lover who wouldn't let you leave her home without a Midwest meal. She championed her children in all of their talents, passions and endeavors. Friends and family were her world – she was happiest wading in the waves at the beach in the sun with her grandchildren.
