Regina Mae Atkins
August 11, 1947 – August 26, 2024
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Regina Atkins, who left us unexpectedly on August 26th, 2024. She was a wonderful mother who was always there when we needed her the most. Full of love, laughter, and resilience. A friend to many who touched the lives of all who knew her and leaving behind a legacy of kindness and strength as well as a void her family can never fill.
Regina was born on August 11th, 1947, in Upper Marlboro to George and Hazel Moore. She attended Marlboro Elementary and graduated from Frederick Sasscer High School.
Regina was a devoted mother, grandmother (NANA), great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, she was loved by all and known for her kindness, generosity, and sense of humor. Her love for dancing, the outdoors and for animals including her stray cats she cared for brought joy to everyone around her.
Regina was preceded in death by her husband Jerry Atkins, parents George & Hazel Moore, and siblings George Moore Jr, Charles Moore, Robert Moore, James Moore & Kenneth Moore.
She is survived by her children: Sheila Wright (Joe) and Gregory Atkins (Heather), grandchildren: Joseph Wright, Amanda Wright, Tawny Atkins, Tamera Ruggiero & Cassie Atkins, great-grandchildren: Terrell, Briell and Kennedy, siblings: Donald Moore, Paul Moore, Steve Moore, Anne Wade (Roger), Doris Gee (John), sisters in law: Sandra Moore and Catherine Moore and close friend Tom Windsor. As well as countless friends who felt her warmth and generosity.
Visitations will be held at the Rausch Funeral Hom in Owings, MD on Wednesday September 4th at 2pm-4pm and 6pm-8pm with a memorial service held on Thursday September 5th at 11am. There will be a reception following the service at the Deale Elks. Regina’s interment will be held at Arlington National Cemetery at a later date to be announced.

Regina’s warmth, love and spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed.

Rest in peace Aunt Regina. I’ll always have the memories of your crazy fun self…all the shopping, antiquing, eating out, watching movies, your 50s/60s fashion vibes, giving me boy advice when I was a teen…lol, and your generosity. I remember when you got mad cause my ex and his family and I were in the area and going to a hotel. You made the ex bring his family and you whipped up the best ham and potatoes and salad for our supper. You gave his parents your own bed. I still don’t know where you slept that night? You were a generous person. Not saying goodbye. I’ll see you later. Love.
