Until its several mergers and acquisitions caused personnel reductions, Miss Lada was employed by the former United Penn Bank in Wilkes-Barre for many years.
She was a member of the Parish of St. Andre Bessette, North Wilkes-Barre, having previously been a devoted member of the former Sacred Heart of Jesus Roman Catholic Church all of her life.
Surviving, are her loving sister, Mrs. Theresa M. Burdulis and her husband, Gerald, Stratford, N.J.; dear cousin, Ms. Diane Nardone, Exeter; two nieces, two great-nieces, a great-nephew; and several devoted friends and neighbors.
Funeral services for Regina will be conducted Tuesday with a Funeral Mass at 11 a.m. in the Parish of St. Andre Bessette, 668 N. Main St., Wilkes-Barre. The Rev. Kenneth M. Seegar, pastor, will serve as celebrant and homilist.

Allow me to introduce myself as Frederick G Senchak. I worked with Jean for 25 years at United Penn Bank We sat across from each other on the 4th floor. I used to tell Jean Laugh out loud as if I am telling you a riscay joke and everyone in the department would think we were up to no good. She would and many employees kidded and said Freddie is at it again. I remember she used to keep her desk in an orderly fashion with the general ledger tickets. We worked together until Mellon Bank displaced us on April 15 1994. I was the only guy in the office and I loved working with all those girls. I was manager and supervisor of the adjustment department. RIP dear Jean.

I am so sorry to hear about cousin Jean's passing. She was a really sweet person. I didn't get to see as much of her as I'd have liked, but I always enjoyed her company, as did my mother.
