Obituary For Regina Anita Dumancas
Regina “Reggie” Dumancas entered into rest on Tuesday, October 30, 2018, at the age of 72.
Reggie was a native Californian, born on May 11, 1946 in Fremont, California. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 34 years, Erwin Dumancas, her parents Magno “Marco” de la Cruz and Anita Romero de la Cruz, and sisters Rita, Merie, and Martha. Reggie will be forever remembered by her daughters, Renee’ Enzian (Randy) of Gulf Breeze, Florida, Christina Rede (Steve) of Modesto, Melanie Serros (Augie) of Madera, and Maile Dumancas of Newark; her brother Tony de la Cruz of Hayward and sisters Lucena “Lucy” Surick of Moss Beach and Roseann Baker of Stockton. Reggie is also survived by 12 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Reggie had an incredible work ethic, employed as a Sr. Engineer at Ampex Corporation in Redwood City for over 40 years. Although she enjoyed working until retirement, Reggie’s greatest joy, by far, was to be surrounded by family. She loved large family gatherings, sharing lots of laughter, delicious food, and endless love. Reggie also had a tremendous love for both the Filipino and Hawaiian cultures, dancing hula, listening to Hawaiian music, as well as cooking these exotic foods, and cooking them well! She was known for her quick wit, great sense of humor, and her kind and compassionate heart. She will certainly be missed very much by all.
A celebration of Reggie’s life will be held on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 with visitation from 8:30AM to 10AM at Chapel of the Roses, 1940 Peralta Blvd., Fremont. Mass will follow at 10:30AM at St. Edwards Catholic Church, 5788 Thornton Ave., Newark, with burial immediately following at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, 26320 Mission Blvd., Hayward.
Flowers are welcome.

So sorry I did not visit when I felt the urge, which has been strongly all month. Same thing happened when Erwin passed. Intuitions. Heena (what I grew up calling Reggie) was the third oldest of eight little girls running and laughing in the dusty sun on what we called "the forty acres". Our families lived together there in Fremont in the late 1940s. So much fun having her as one of my playmates, roaming the fields, making mud pies, laying in the dirt watching the clouds float by, playing with all the animals. Eight cute and free mestiza girls, cousins, new to California, with nothing to do but play together. Heena had curly hair, big beautiful white teeth, and, being one of the oldest among us, was a resident authority in our group. I remember her dressed in ruffle cotton dresses, hair all in banana curls, smiling, laughing, running around on weekends when our parents had bar-b-que gatherings, to which it seems all the local Filipino families came. Wonderful.

Aloha Oe Reggie, I just saw your passing and pray and know your looking down upon your loved ones smiling and you are now with you parents, sister and nephew. It's been awhile, but can only describe you in one way, " Class." I was young dumb and stupid years ago but you were always kind to me and always spoke with encouragement and positive thoughts. Your family was blessed to have a wonderful lady in there lifes. Bless you Reggie. Mitchell Stibbard Honolulu, Hi..
