Regina Lada Obituary

Miss Regina (Jean) A. Lada, 81, a life resident of Madison Street in the North End section of the city, passed into eternal life Thursday afternoon, Dec. 8, 2016, in Wilkes-Barre General Hospital following a recent illness.

Born Aug. 1, 1935 in the North End homestead, she was a daughter to the late Leo and Mary T. (Kovalick) Lada. Educated in the city schools, she was a graduate of the James M. Coughlin High School, Wilkes-Barre.

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. Interment with the Rite of Committal will follow in Sacred Heart of Jesus Roman Catholic Cemetery of the Parish of St. Andre Bessette, Dorchester Drive, Dallas.

Relatives and friends may join Regina's family for visitation and remembrances Tuesday from 10:30 a.m. until the time of Mass directly at church.

In lieu of floral tributes, Regina's family would be honored if those wishing to send a donation in her memory, kindly consider a contribution to the Parish of St. Andre Bessette, 668 N. Main St., Wilkes-Barre, PA 18705.

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.
