Regina Marie Pinnel

On April 16, 2022, Regina Marie Pinnel passed away unexpectedly in her home during her recent recovery from COVID-19. She was 66 years old.

Regina was a native of Philadelphia who enjoyed lively mid morning coffee chats and spending quality time with family and friends. A caring and compassionate soul, she would always provide those requiring comfort with a warm smile and a “bear hug” embrace to reassure them that everything would be okay. “Mrs. Pinnel”, as she was known throughout the neighborhood, was a mother to all who cared deeply for everyone she met. 

Regina was the daughter of the late John and Amelia (Kemsel). Regina leaves behind her four children: Jonathan Pinnel; Bryan Pinnel; Matthew Pinnel; and Alex Pinnel. She was blessed to become a Nana to three adorable granddaughters, Ellieanna June, Soleil Rosalie, and Vivian Blake. She is also survived by her sister Dolores Waters (née: Tanski). She leaves behind many loving daughter-in-laws, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Please join the Pinnel family after 6:00 pm on Thursday April 28th  2022, at Delaware Valley Cremation Center, 7350 State Road, Philadelphia, PA 19136 for a gathering of remembrance in honoring and celebrating Regina's life. Brief family sharing will begin at 7:00 PM with time for refreshments and fellowship, until 9:00 pm, where Regina's family will be accessible to receive the loving comfort of your condolences, remembrances and support.
