Some people walk this earth in such a profound way that their departure reminds us that angels are watching over us. Regina Dee “Gener” Parsons, age 62, of Glenville, WV, gained her wings and joined her beloved husband and beautiful daughter in heaven on, July 29, 2022.

Regina was born October 27, 1959 in Gassaway, WV; daughter of the Ruby Jean Stout Wayne of Gassaway, WV; and the late Farise Dean Wayne.

On September 4, 1981 she was united in marriage to Steven A. “Bub” Parsons, her best friend and soul mate who preceded her in death on April 20, 2020.

Gener was a loving person who cared deeply for others. She was filled with a great kindness and compassion for everyone she met. Many of her conversations would often lead to boasting of how proud she was of her children and grandchildren.

Regina was a long time employee of Gil-Co Faith Pharmacy where she became known and loved by many in the community. Her faith and her family meant so much to her and that shined through in everything she did.

She enjoyed spending time with all of her family, taking vacations to Tennessee with her husband and kids, watching Kasey and Cole grow and learn, seeing Charlie and Tressie accomplish dreams, and being such a big part of her children’s lives.

Along with her mother, Regina is survived by her daughter Kimberly Jenkins (Thomas), son Steven Parsons both of Glenville, WV, brothers, Martin Wayne (Sherryl), Travis Wayne (Tammy), sisters Vanessa Vaughan (Richie) all of Gassaway, WV, and Teresa Martin (Matt) of Homer City, PA.

Gener’s grandkids were the pride and joy of her life; Charles Payne (Tiana) of Richmond, VA, Tressie Payne of Clarksburg, WV, and Kasey LeeAnn and Cole Parsons both home in Glenville. She was proud of all of them and never let an opportunity pass to boast about them to anyone that would listen.

Also surviving are a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and many other wonderful friends and family.

Along with her husband, Steven and Father, Farise, Regina is preceded in death by her beautiful daughter Kasey Lee Parsons and Great-granddaughter, Zoey Ella Payne.

A funeral service will be conducted at the Ellyson Mortuary, Inc., 2 Vanhorn Drive, Glenville, WV; 26351 at 11:00 AM; Friday, August 5, 2022 with Pastor Bryan Groves and family friend Chris Arden officiating.
