Sunrise: February 16, 1962 Sunset: March 21, 2026
Regina Stevens, affectionately known to so many as "Momma Cole," passed away on March 21, 2026.
A genuinely nurturing soul with a heart always ready to give, Regina was a true mother figure to all who crossed her path. Her legacy of love and hospitality will live on in the countless stories shared by those she fed, comforted, and cared for. Generations of families will fondly remember the warmth of her home and the tireless devotion she showed while babysitting them and, eventually, their own children.
She was preceded in death by her beloved son, "TJ"; her parents, Cherie Regina Williams (Goings), Richard Lee Williams, and Larry V. Cole; her brother, Darrell Cole Sr.; her sister, Cindy Williams; and her sisters-in-law, Darlene Ford and Tonya Holland.
She leaves behind a beautiful legacy in her surviving family, including her children: Brandon (Stella) Cole of Flowery Branch, GA; Jessica (Gino) Cole of Newark, OH; and Annie (Jazadrian) Stevens of Norman, OK. Her memory will be forever cherished by her grandchildren: Dynasty Kimble, Zander Norris, Sarah Cole, and Maleyah Cole, as well as the eagerly anticipated arrival of a new granddaughter due in July.
She is also survived by her siblings: Larry Cole of Wilmington, Rhonda Broady of Wilmington, and Todd Cole of Hillsboro; her nieces and nephews: Kendra (Robert) McEvoy, Darrell, and LaToya; as well as a host of beloved great-nieces, great-nephews, extended family, and countless friends whose lives she touched.
A memorial service to celebrate Regina's life will be held at Brown Funeral Home in Wilmington, OH. Calling hours will take place from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with the service beginning at 5:00 PM.
