Shirley Regas, age 86 of South Yarmouth, MA lost her battle with Alzheimer’s disease and passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 8, 2020. Born in Lewiston Maine, Shirley was the youngest daughter of the late Harold and Margaret Roach. She was raised and educated in Waltham and was a graduate of the last class at St. Mary’s High School. Shirley continued her education at Bentley College in Waltham, MA. She worked as an assistant to the superintendant of the Waltham Public School Department. She retired to Cape Cod and was an active member of the Yarmouth Senior Center.

Shirley was the wife of her late husband John Regas and they were members of the Bass River Yacht Club. She was adventurous and traveled extensively. Shirley felt the joy of life was the journey, not the destination. She enjoyed theater, band concerts, and playing bridge and mahjong with her wide circle of friends.

Shirley leaves behind a family that she was proud of: Deborah Bain of N. Chelmsford, MA, Susan Eldridge of S. Dennis, MA, Cheryl Laurie of S. Yarmouth, MA, and John Goodrich of Harwich, MA. She will be remembered by many loving grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations can be made to the Yarmouth Senior Center, 528 Forest Road, Yarmouth, MA 02673.
