Regina Norine Chambers

Regina Chambers, after a long illness, passed on Wednesday, October 10, in Newport Beach, CA. She was 69.

Regina was born on November 1, 1937, in Jamaica, Queens, NY. She grew up in New York City and in Malverne, NY, the third child of George and Catherine Morris. She was a graduate of Adelphi University and married Hugh J. Chambers on September 10, 1960. They raised three children: Norine, Stacia and Hugh in Mountain Lakes, NJ.

A resident of Mountain Lakes for more than 30 years, Regina was active in the Home and School Association, a member of the Gourmet Club, president of TWIG (benefiting Riverside Hospital in Boonton, NJ), an active volunteer with CASA in Morristown, NJ, and a member of St. Peter’s Church in Morristown.

Regina and Hugh retired to Newport Beach in 2002. There, they enjoyed being a part of the lives of their two grandchildren and Regina pursuing her love of painting (Plein Air Artistry) and patronizing the Orange County Performing Arts Center. She also loved to travel, Italy being one of her favorite destinations.

Regina battled cancer three times, and will forever be remembered for her courage, tenacity, generosity, kindness, humor, and loving spirit. She was an exceptional wife, mother, sister, aunt, and friend, and she has left an indelible mark on the many lives she touched.

Regina is survived by her husband, Hugh; daughter, Stacia, son-in-law, Steve, and grandchildren, Madison and Jake, of Newport Beach, CA; her daughter, Norine, and son-in-law, Peter, of Boston, MA; she is predeceased by her son, Hugh George.

Regina is also survived by her three sisters: Kathleen, Peg and Patti; and her two brothers, George and Vincent. She also leaves her brothers-in-law, Joseph and Robert Chambers, and 10 nieces and nephews.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, October 20, at 10:00 a.m., at St. Michael’s and All Angels Church in Corona Del Mar, CA. A luncheon hosted by Regina’s daughters will immediately follow.
