Mrs. Regina Edrington Wilson

Regina Edrington Wilson, affectionately referred to as “Gina”, was born on September 7, 1966 in Lexington, Kentucky to Brenda L. Edrington and the late Lonnie E. Greer. She was raised by the late Robert L. Thurman and the late Charles H. Dunson, both caring stepfathers. Regina passed away on March 28, 2024 at the age of 57 after a courageous, 22 year battle with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Regina confessed her love of Jesus Christ at a very early age and joined Mount Nebo Baptist Church in Richmond, Kentucky under the guidance of Reverend Clark Wright. She was a vibrant and kind person; a true servant leader who was passionate about learning and sharing knowledge and resources with anyone who may benefit. She excelled academically throughout her lifetime and was deemed a “bookworm” by those closest to her. After graduating from Bryan Station High School (1985) in Lexington, Kentucky, she completed her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (1989) at Northern Kentucky University. She earned a Master of Science (1992) from the State University of New York at Buffalo, a Master of Public Administration (2000), and a Master of Rehabilitation Counseling (2008), both from the University of Kentucky. A Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, Regina received multiple awards and accolades while proudly serving military service members, their families, and civilians during her employment with state and federal government agencies, including the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries and the United States Army. Regina enjoyed traveling to warm destinations with family and felt most at peace relaxing on the beach, in the comforting arms of her husband, listening to her favorite reggae songs or the ocean waves, while watching her grandsons play in the sand. She leaves to cherish her memory and honor her legacy, her beloved husband of 33 years, Marcus Ridell Wilson, whom she married on July 8, 1990; two daughters, MarcKia R. Wilson and Zina R. Wilson; three grandchildren, Braylon R. Wilson, Tyce D. Jones, and Tyler C. Jones; several siblings, Robert L. Thurman, Rhonda L. Thurman, Zenada Greer, Darrow Smith, Tammie Johnson, Terry Johnson, Kathi Leveal, Lonnie Jean (deceased), India Greer, Shanda Leis, Bobbie Carter, Antonio Oxidine, LaTandra Oxidine, Lanetta Oxidine, and Katherine Oxidine; her dearest cousin, Larry Givens and a host of cousins, nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved "with all of her heart".
