Mary Ann Regan, a beloved wife, mother, and sister passed away peacefully, with family at her side, on August 20, 2017, in Waxahachie, Texas. She was born March 28, 1929, at St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to John Willis and Mary Eloise (Galloway) Goddard. From there, her family moved to Ardmore, OK, Bismarck, ND, and Tyler, TX, before settling in Midland, TX, when she was 14 years old. She always considered Midland her "hometown". After graduating from Midland High School in May of 1946, she attended and graduated from Texas Tech in Lubbock, TX, with a degree in Spanish. She moved back to Midland and worked at Shell Oil Co., BS&B Oil Supply Co. and Midland National Bank. She met the love of her life, Curtis Regan, Jr., in the Single Adult Sunday School class at First United Methodist Church in Midland. They married on April 24, 1954, and recently celebrated 63 years of marriage. Curtis' job took them to New Orleans, Amarillo, Houston, Oklahoma City, and finally to Lancaster, TX, where they lived for 33 years.
She was a devoted mother of three lovely daughters. She dedicated her life to her family, her church and her friends. She volunteered her time teaching the kindergarten Sunday School class and Vacation Bible School at First United Methodist Church, Lancaster, helping with Girls Scouts, the PTA and other school activities. She loved baking, playing card games, working jigsaw and crossword puzzles, attending her United Methodist Women activities, singing and spending time with her grandchildren. She worked as a substitute teacher in the Lancaster ISD and then at Bill's Hallmark – a job she loved!
