Regina Barton Moon

1930 - 2025

CLYDE - Regina Barton Moon, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away at home on January 20, 2025, after a brief illness. She had just celebrated her 95 birthday.

Born in Lyons, N.Y. on January 18, 1930, to Anne S. Barton and Archibald F. Barton, Regina spent the first ten years of her life on the family farm outside Clyde, N.Y. before the family moved into town. Regina graduated from Clyde Central School, in 1948 and found work as a secretary. She became reacquainted with her friend's older brother, Lt. Robert Moon "Bob", who returned to his Clyde family from service in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific during World War II. On November 20, 1948, Regina and Bob were wed and set up housekeeping in Newark, N.Y., where Regina's job was located and where Bob was employed by NYSE&G. Soon Bob was promoted to NYSE&G management and began a career that relocated the family seven times throughout Central N.Y. and the Southern Tier.

Regina was a gifted pianist, talented cook, and extraordinary baker. Following in her mother's footsteps, Regina was also a fine seamstress, avid reader, and accomplished gardener, with a passion for roses. Although shy by nature, she supported Bob at many business-related engagements and traveled with him to conferences across the country. Regina shared Bob's love of boating and spent many summers with her family aboard the "Regina B" on Cayuga Lake, Seneca Lake, and Lake Ontario.

Regina was a loving and generous mother to her children and a caring hands-on grandmother to five grandchildren. She was elated when her first great grandchild, Jase Michael, was born. Regina was especially pleased that they all are musical in one way or another, echoing her family's love of music.

In 2007, Regina followed Bob in their final move to Cumming, Georgia, spending the remainder of their retirement with her son and his young family. When Bob faced several health challenges, Regina cared for Bob at home until he passed away in 2013. Since that time, Regina continued to reside in Cumming, Ga.

Regina is survived by her daughter, Deborah Moon Jordan (Dr. Lawrence J. Jordan III); her son, Robert Barton Moon (Wendy McArthur Moon); grandchildren, Anne Jordan McManus (Michael McManus), Lawrence Joseph Jordan IV, Lucy Renee Moon, Zachary Robert Moon, and Margo Ann Moon; great-grandson, Jase Michael McManus; and sister, Patricia Barton Fischette.

On April 2, 2025, visiting hours will be held from 4 p.m-6 p.m. at the Schulz- Pusateri Funeral Home, 68 Sodus St., Clyde, N.Y. followed by a Mass of Christian Burial on April 3, 2025, at 10 a.m. at St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, Clyde, N.Y. A luncheon will be held immediately following the Mass at Belhurst Castle, Geneva, N.Y. Regina will be interred next to her husband Bob in the New York State Veterans Cemetery-Finger Lakes, in Romulus, N.Y., following the luncheon.

Memorial donations may be made to St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, 114 Sodus St., Clyde N.Y., 14433.
