Regina King Obituary
Regina Robinson King, 75, was called home to be with her heavenly father Saturday evening, 12/24/2022 at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis Indiana. Regina was born December 11th, 1947 to Andrew Robinson and Jasmine Ernest Robinson in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Regina graduated from Crawfordsville High School, she also studied and graduated from San Francisco State University. Regina retired as an Elementary Special Education Teacher in San Francisco, California. Regina loved to entertain and always could be heard laughing during family gatherings. She loved to cook and would whip up a pot of Gumbo in a moment's notice. Regina had a love for sports, which she inherited directly from her dad Andy. Regina was a staunch supporter of the Chicago Bears. She was preceded in death by her parents Andrew Robinson and Jasmine Ernest Robinson and one brother Andrew Robinson JR. She leaves to mourn one aunt; Ellen (Robinson) Johnson of California, two cousins; Thomas E. Churchill II of California, Aaron Boone of Florida and one long-time partner Steven Davis of California. Regina touched many people and will be mourned by a long list of family and friends. Regina had a big heart and demonstrated an unfailing love for others. We will miss her humor, her hospitality, her wonderful meals, her generosity and her loving kindness.
Graveside services will be held Saturday, Jan. 14th at 2 PM at Oak Hill Cemetery North, led by Rev. Nathan Miller. Arrangements were entrusted to Burkhart Funeral Home.

From diapers to our golden years we have been in each other’s lives. Play ground, Girl Scouts, playing dodgeball, softball, learning crafts and a love of reading are things that we have shared. My friend you will be missed.

Cousin Regina often spoke of her many years of dedication to and education of Elementary Special Education Students. She also mentioned caring about them long after they left her classroom.
That was Love. That was Regina!

Regina was our wonderful neighbor for the last 5 1/2 years. As I visited her in the hospital a few days before she died, she talked at length about the full life she had led: growing up in Crawfordsville, her loving parents, living and teaching in California, her travels to Mexico and New Zealand many years ago, her long-time partner, and her many friends. She had a positive outlook on life, looking forward to getting back home soon - but the Lord had other plans. Rest in peace, Regina. You are missed.
