It is with unimaginable sorrow that we announce the sudden yet peaceful passing of our mother, Mary-Anne Regier, on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

Devoted mother of Jordan (Lynn), Brandon (Shannon), and Kaitlyn. Mary-Anne was the best mother anyone could ask for. Her three cherished granddaughters, Mazie, Norah, and Olivia, adored her and meant the world to her.

She was a loving sister of David (1997) and Joanne, Bonnie (Pete), Dennis (Lorraine), Jim (Marlene), Ken (Deb), Mark, Patti (Chris), and Lisa (Rodger). She was predeceased by her parents, Clem (2009) and Theresa (2022) Regier, and her nephews Derrick Regier (1978) and Joel Regier (2019). She will be deeply missed by her many nieces, nephews, extended family, and dearest friends.

Mary-Anne grew up on the family farm in Zurich, Ontario, with her eight siblings and hardworking parents. There were barn parties, tailgate beers, and more than a few shenanigans along the way. She went on to become a nurse and took great pride in her work right up to her retirement at the age of 62.

Mary-Anne loved loud and with her whole heart. You always knew when she walked into a room, and chances were you’d be laughing before long. She had a wonderfully silly streak and could get just about anyone to join in on a little mischief. If you ever ended up under her shirt, you know exactly what we mean.

She was thoughtful, gentle, understanding, and an incredibly strong woman. She endured a lot in her life and kept showing up for the people she loved. If you needed someone to listen, she made time for you. If there was something she could do to make your day a little easier, she did it. That was Mary-Anne. She gave so much of herself in ways big and small.

Her kids were the centre of her life, and she was so proud of them and their accomplishments. she always had room for their friends too. Somewhere along the way, she became their “Mother,” “Momma,” or “Momma Bear,”. With her, they were family.

And then there were her friends. Oh, how she loved her “b*tches.” Some knew her from childhood, and others in school or at work. She had a way of making you feel like an old friend, even if you’d only just met. We’ll miss being around her, laughing with her, and seeing what she’d get up to next.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out and shown our family so much love and support. It’s a comfort to know how many of you loved her and miss her, too.

Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Mary-Anne’s life will take place on Friday, November 27, 2026, from 1 – 4 PM with a memorial tribute at 2:30 PM at Haskett Funeral Homes, 456 Main Street South, Exeter, Ontario.

As an expression of sympathy, donations in Mary-Anne’s memory to the Alzheimer Society of Canada would be greatly appreciated.

Night Momma, I love.

See yah in the funnies!
