Regina A. BLAMIRE

An angel, Regina A. Blamire, 87, of Whitesville, NY, returned to her home in heaven on Tuesday, September 29, 2020.

Born November 2, 1932, in Upton, MA, she was the daughter of Charles and Winona Waterman Noe. On May 15, 1954, in Upton, she married the love of her life, Gordon “Russ” Blamire, who predeceased her on July 4, 2011.

Regina is survived by five children: Sherree (Mike) Brownell, Craig (Cyndi) Blamire, Jaimee Vallieres, Peggie Blamire, and Mary “Pickles” Bissett; eleven grandchildren; and twenty great-grandchildren. In addition to her husband, she will be reunited with her sons John Blamire and Evan Blamire; her two brothers, Charlie Noe and Billy Noe; and her granddaughter, Gina Billings. She also left behind countless others who loved her as their own mother.

Regina, a/k/a Gina, Mom, Ma, Grandma, Gramma Gina, Reggie, and GiGi, was the light of our lives. Her strength and sense of humor kept all of us going when life got difficult. Her focus in life was always her family and community. When the kids were all grown, she took care of their kids and then her neighbors around town. She truly loved her life and friends in Whitesville.
