Regina Ellen McClure passed away December 4, 2016 at home, surrounded by her family. She was 62.

Regina was born November 12, 1954 in Lewistown, Montana to Earl E. and Leta B. (Carrell) Ihde. The family moved to Frannie, Wyoming where they resided for the next 10 years. The family once again relocated in 1965, making Worland their home. Regina attended Worland schools, graduating in 1973. Regina then moved to Billings, Montana where she attended Billings Beautician College. During this time, Regina was wed to Douglas R. Faw. The couple was divorced a short time later.

Regina moved back to Worland in 1975, and worked for several businesses over the next few years; including Louviere Jewelers and Rickers Downtown Pharmacy.

In 1990, Regina met Tom McClure. Despite Regina's devoted resistance, she fell prey to Tom's loving persistence. The couple was wed in June of 1990, beginning the best 26 years of their lives.

Regina continued to work for various employers including Born Again Clothing, Sunshine Office Products, finally returning to Rickers Pharmacy. Regina spent her last 16 years as a pharmaceutical technician for a total of 26 years at Rickers.

Regina loved the outdoors, camping and fishing, racing around the countryside in UTV'S, or simply puttering around the yard with her love, Tom, she was in her element. Regina also enjoyed refurbishing furniture, scrapbooking, as well as all types of crafts. Regina loved helping out with the Festival of Trees, riding her bike with the lighted wheels and especially adored Halloween. Any given Halloween would produce the most outlandish costumes one could imagine - courtesy of Regina and Tom. The pair were also touted to be the best dancers in town.
