Born in Donora to the late Joseph and Anna Mary Wojciechowski, she was a lifelong resident of Donora and Charleroi. A graduate of Donora High School, Regina attended Mount Mercy College, now Carlow University.

Following her marriage to Stanley Danek in 1968, Regina returned to Donora and taught at Mon Valley Catholic High School. Later in her career, she taught in the Ringgold School District, from which she eventually retired.

Lebanon, and Mark of Conshohocken, Pa.; her sister-in-law, Judy Wojciechowski of Forest Hills; and many nieces, nephews and cousins, both in and outside of the United States.
