Cecelia “Ceil” A. Regner, 89, a lifelong resident of Kenosha, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 3, 2014, at Brookside Care Center with her family at her side. Born on June 12, 1925, in Kenosha, she was the daughter of the late John and Caroline (Fonk) Regner. She attended St. James Catholic Grade School, was a graduate of Kenosha High School, St. Agnes School of Nursing, and St. Mary’s in Chicago, where she graduated with a CRNA degree; she was one of the first women in Wisconsin to do so. Ceil began her career as a staff RN, but her desire to continue her education led her to St. Mary’s in Chicago. There she graduated as a Nurse Anesthetist some sixty years ago and had maintained her certification until her death. Ceil has always displayed her ability to grow professionally by being involved with her professional organizations, acting as President of the Kenosha District of Nurses Association. Ceil was the anesthetist for approximately 14,560 deliveries and had administered approximately 23,500 general surgical anesthetics. Ceil was a member of St. Peter’s Catholic Church. She is survived by her nieces and nephews, Janice (Jim) Sorensen, John (Betty) Regner, Mary (Steve) Finnegan, Robert (Pat) Regner, Richard (Sharon) Regner, Michael (Janet) Pobar, William Pocius, Cathy (Keith) Haapala; and numerous great nieces and nephews. Ceil was preceded in death by her sisters, Aletha, Marion, Caroline (Walter) Pocius, Janet (Edmund) Pobar, her brother, Leon (Helen) and nephew, Thomas (Shirley) Regner. The family would like to thank the staff at Brookside Care Center for their care and thoughtfulness during her trying times. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, December 6th, at St. Peter’s Catholic Church at 10:00 a.m. Interment will be private. Visitation will be held on Saturday at the church from 9:00 a.m. until the time of the Mass. In lieu of flowers, memorials to St. Peter’s Catholic Church would be appreciated by the family.Proko Funeral Home & Crematory5111-60th StreetKenosha, WI 53144Phone: (262) 654-3533Visit Cecelia’s Online Memorial Book at:www.prokofuneralhome.com
