Regina M. Workman passed
away August 22, 2010, at Grand
View Care Lodge in Grand Junction,
CO. She was born on October
31, 1914 in Canon City, CO
to Cyprian and Mary Hrica. The
family moved to the Grand Junction
area when she was three
years old.
Regina married Raymond R.
Workman on August 1, 1939 at the Methodist Church in Grand
Junction. Raymond and Regina danced together through almost 52
years of marriage before his death in 1991. Together they raised four
children, W. Leota, Helen Louise, Raymond Alan and Jeanne Anne.
Regina graduated from Appleton High School in 1931and felt she
was ready to begin teaching. A school board member for School
District 21 told her she was too young and to come back the following
year. She returned, and began a 40 year career in the classroom.
She spent summers acquiring more education, ultimately
earning her college degree from Western State College in Gunnison,
CO. For many years Regina taught third grade at Fruitvale Elementary,
retiring in 1980.
Regina is survived by three children, six grandchildren, and their
children, earning her the new name G.G., for "Great Grandma". She
was also close to her sister's family, nephew, Larry Reed; three great
nieces, and their children. Also surviving is nephew, LeRoy Workman,
and his family.

former students, family and friends to share condolences and memories
of Regina at a celebration of her life to be held at Long's Park,
