Joan O'Regan, 85, of Walbridge, Ohio, passed away Friday, July 9, 2021 at Genoa Retirement Village. Joan was born in Cork, Ireland on June 15, 1936 to Cornelius and Rose (Sykes) O'Regan. Joan immigrated to Northwood, Ohio in 1956. She became a computer programmer with the Toledo Clinic early in her career. Later Joan commuted daily from Walbridge, Ohio to Monroe, Michigan for computer work. Tired of all those long commutes, she began working for Cimarron Express in Genoa, Ohio where she eventually retired. Joan loved her children and grandchildren dearly. Her boys brought home stray dogs from time to time and she couldn't say no to the new furry family additions. Later in life she rescued small dogs to love on and take care of. Joan loved tea and cookies, ice cream and Rolo caramels. She dreamed of revisiting her homeland Ireland but was never able to see that to fruition. Joan is survived by her children, Stephen O'Regan and Patrick (Sonda Kaye) O'Regan; and 6 grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and son Terrence.
