Regene "Reggie" Dubell (nee Mahoney) of Loveland Ohio, beloved wife of the late Richard P. "Dick" Dubell, loving mother of Regene "Gina" Dubell-Smith (John), Richard E. "Rick" Dubell (Michelle) and Stephen "Steve" Dubell (Lexie), and cherished grandmother of Andrea, Cole, Savanna, and Olivia, passed away June 26, 2025, at the age of 96. Reggie was a beloved member of the community who had an extremely successful career in real estate while simultaneously caring for her family and enjoying spending time with her great circle of friends. She lived a life of faith, dignity, humor and strength overcoming many challenges seemingly through sheer tenacity. Her strength wasn't only in character. It was also in her body, will & spirit, beating cancer four times. Reggie was a woman of character who modeled the traits she valued most to her children and grandchildren. She spoke often about her pride in how they turned out. Her religion, her family & friends and her community were extremely important to her, and she is certainly rejoicing to be reunited in heaven with Dick, Sister Ann Louis (great aunt) and many of her beloved friends that have gone before her.

Reggie was born on August 28, 1928, in Cincinnati Ohio, a city she would forever call home. Raised by nuns in the catholic church, Reggie's early life was shaped by quiet strength, discipline, and an unshakable faith in God. That faith carried her through the joys and hardships of a life fully lived and it never left her side.

In 1960, Reggie met and married the love of her life, Richard "Dick" Dubell. Together, they built a home filled with love, laughter, warmth, and resilience. They raised three wonderful children, Gina (John) Dubell-Smith, Rick (Michelle) Dubell and Steve (Lexie) Dubell. If you knew Reggie, you knew that being a mother was one of her proudest roles. She was a mom that came to her kid's games, drove the carpool, served on the PTA, worked at the student bookstore and who always made sure her children knew they were deeply loved and supported.

To her four beloved grandchildren, Andrea, Cole, Savanna, and Olivia, she was more than a grandmother. She was a cheerleader, a storyteller, a wise voice, and a source of unconditional love. When Dan & Kate joined the family through marriage, she welcomed them with open arms and a full heart, especially when they brought her key lime pie.

Reggie's legacy didn't stop with motherhood or grand motherhood. She was a trailblazer, a woman ahead of her time. In a world where women were just beginning to carve their place in business, Reggie became one of the top real estate agents in Cincinnati. True to her values, she didn't just sell houses, she helped people find their homes. She would never sell someone a home that wasn't right for them, because for Reggie, it was never just about the sale. It was about the people. She eventually handed down that passion for real estate and making people happy homeowners to her beloved daughter Gina, working as partners in the business together for several years before Reggie's retirement.

Reggie's strength wasn't only in her character, it was also in her body, her will and her spirit. She was a four-time cancer survivor. She stared down breast cancer, twice, esophageal cancer and neck cancer and lived to tell the story. She defied the odds with the same grace and determination that marked every part of her life. Her strength during these tough times inspired her granddaughter Olivia to do the same, beating cancer herself.

If you knew Reggie, you knew one thing for sure, if the Cincinnati Reds or Bengals were playing, you'd better wait until the commercial break to talk to her. She didn't just watch sports, she lived them. She followed every stat, knew the players by name, and could analyze a play like a pro. Joe Burrow and Joey Votto weren't just athletes to her, they were part of her extended family, whether they knew it or not.

Reggie lived with dignity, humor, faith and tenacity. She taught us that love is a verb, that strength doesn't always need to roar, and that it is possible to be fiercely independent and deeply devoted to family.

As we say goodbye today, let us remember that Reggie's life wasn't measured in years, though she blessed us with nearly a century, but in impact in the lives she touched, in the love she gave and in the lessons she left behind.

We love you, Reggie. We are better for having known you and we will carry you with us in every game day cheer, in every act of quiet courage, in every story told around the dinner table or from your favorite recliner chair.

A private Mass of Christian Burial was held for Reggie at St Columban Church on July 3, 2025, with her close friends and family in attendance. She was buried at the Gate of Heaven cemetery next to her beloved husband Dick Dubell.
