REGINA DOBSON Obituary

DOBSON, Regina (Mitsch) Beloved mother, grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully, on November 21, 2025, surrounded by her family. A lifelong resident of Milton, Regina was preceded in death by her husband, Paul; and is survived by her children, Catherine Durso Lincoln (Jeffrey), Alex Durso (Shaneen) and Julie McGrath (Christopher); along with her eight cherished grandchildren. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Regina graduated from Simmons University and began her career at the American Meteorological Society, before finding her true calling in real estate with Coldwell Banker. Regina had an unmatched love for animals, especially dogs. As the former president of the Animal Rescue League, she spent decades rescuing and caring for animals in need, giving countless dogs a safe, loving place to call home. Her family often joked that she loved dogs more than anything, a truth she embraced with pride. She and Paul also treasured their summers sailing Boston Harbor and spending time in Nova Scotia. She will be dearly missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. Visitation at Dolan Funeral Home, 460 Granite Avenue, EAST MILTON SQUARE, Friday, December 12, from 9-10:15 AM, followed by a Funeral Service at Saint Michael's Episcopal Church, 112 Randolph Avenue, Milton, at 11:00 AM. Interment Milton Cemetery. In honor of Regina's lifelong dedication to animals, donations may be made to the Milton Animal League, 100 Access Road, Milton, MA 02186.
