Cravens-Shires Funeral Home - BluefieldRegan Berlin Anderson, 21, of Bluefield, WV, tragically left this world far too soon on Friday, August 29, 2025.
Regan was born on January 18, 2004, in Bluefield, WV. Regan was raised in Bluefield, WV, where she was a graduate of Bluefield High School in 2022. She played softball, soccer, and was a cheerleader. She was also an aspiring aesthetician. Regan had worked at Starbucks the last two years and truly loved the work she did (besides working the drive thru window).
Regan could be described as many things, she was carefree, wild, feisty, and ALWAYS said what the rest of us were thinking. She certainly lived life on her own terms, she didn't follow paths, she blazed her own. She lived loudly, loved deeply, and wasn't afraid of a little chaos; that's what made her truly unforgettable. She found joy in the little things in life and lived with a freedom most only dream of.
Regan was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Deborah and Butch Porterfield; maternal great-grandparents, Nellie and Donald DePriest and Fred Sturdivant; cousin, Alisha Beeman; and her special pawpaw, who was truly her best friend, Thomas David Armstrong.
Those left to cherish Regan's memory are her mother and father, Jennifer and Lewayne Armstrong, of Princeton, WV; sisters, Reese Anderson of Princeton, WV, and Melissa Hudspath of Valdosta, GA; grandmother, Joy Armstrong, of Princeton, WV; aunts, Samantha Porterfield of Tazewell, VA, Jennifer Cline of Bluefield, WV, and Sherry Sparks of Concord, NC; uncle, James Porterfield of Fairlea, WV; cousins, Cardlin, Breauna, Kaleigh, and Breanna; nephews, Julian and Jacob of Valdosta, GA; significant other Tyler East of Bluefield, WV, and daughter, and light of her life, Everlyee Grace East.
Regan was a loving daughter, sister, mother, and friend; her family and friends will always carry her memory, her spark, and her truth with them.
Funeral services will be held, Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 11:00 AM, at The Cravens-Shires Funeral Home Chapel in Bluewell, WV, with Pastor Judy Raines officiating. Burial will follow at Roselawn Memorial Gardens in Princeton, WV, with family and friends serving as pallbearers.
A visitation will be held one hour prior to services, from 10:00-11:00 AM, at the funeral home.
