Regena Ann Williams, age 86, of Arlington, Texas, passed away peacefully on April 28, 2026. She was born on February 23, 1940, in Vernon Texas, to the late Ethyl Fennell Williams and Roy Williams.

Regena grew up in Vernon, Texas and graduated high school from Vernon High School. She attended a commercial business school in Wichita Falls, Texas. Regena also attended cosmetology school and worked as a hairdresser in Vernon. She moved to Arlington, Texas in the 1960s to be close to her beloved brother, Charles. Around 1986 Regena started working as an office manager for Colonial Storage (which later became SecurCare Storage). She was a valuable and dedicated employee.

As a child, Regena loved to sew. She always loved music and enjoyed listening to live music. She and Charles would travel and attend country music concerts. Regena was known for her outgoing personality, and she truly never met a stranger. Her smile lit up a room. Her family and friends were everything to her and she never forgot a birthday, anniversary or other special event.

Regena is survived by her “almost sister” Jan Morgan of Oklahoma, many cousins including Harold Ray Williams of Virginia, Randy Ford (Lorie) of Texas, special cousin Jenny Hanes (Ken) of Virginia, Megan Brandt (Nathan) of New Mexico, and Jimmy Upton of Texas. She is also survived by many other special family members and friends who will cherish her memory.

She is preceded in death by her parents Ethyl Fennell Williams and Roy Williams, and her brother Charles Williams.

A graveside service will be held at Eastview Cemetery in Vernon, Texas on Friday, May 8, 2026, at 11:00 am.

Regena will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
