Obituary of Barbara Louise Regan

Barbara Louise Regan (née Campbell) left this world on Friday, September 1, 2023 to rejoin her husband Walter J. Regan. After 14 years apart, they are together once again in peace and happiness. Her celebration of life will be held on her 85th birthday, October 4. Barbara Regan was a multifaceted woman: a teacher, a mother/(great)grandmother, a friend, an adventurer, and always ready for a good time. Her laughter lit up every room she inhabited, and the world is a little more muted without her. Barb lived and loved out loud, unapologetically and authentically herself each and every day. The family she and Walt built together was the pride and purest joy of her life. She leaves behind a legacy of laughter and adventure: her three sons Pat (Noreen), Mike (Robin), and Tim (Suzi), her eight grandchildren Stasi, Andrew, Travis, Erich, Katie, Madeline, Monica and Mollie Katherine, and six great-grandchildren who loved her dearly. She attended countless sporting events, school plays, recitals, graduations, weddings, and baptisms, beaming and weeping tears of happiness at every opportunity. Her family will miss her boisterous and generous spirit. Barb was also a true and loyal friend. Her love for others ran deep and long, with friendships that spanned the decades. Though she outlived a few bridge partners and fellow Rose Society members, Barb is survived by many others from their college days at the University of Portland and friends from Air Force life. She loved nothing more than to gather with family and friends, often hosting to ensure a good time was had by all. Her memorial will be held at Holy Family church at 1:00pm on October 4th. A rosary will proceed the funeral at 12:30pm. In lieu of flowers, Barb would appreciate gifts in her memory to Mount Angel Abbey & Seminary, or any Catholic school of your choice.
