I taught with Regina at Chapel Hill Elementary School many years ago. She was a great teacher. She even let my young daughters help her with her summer school kindergarten class.

Rest in peace, Regina, and peace be with your family always.

I remember Regina living down the street from my family the Curren's on Banks Ave in Columbia, MO and attending Jefferson Junior High school and Hickman High with her.  Regina was this little short sweet girl who wore her hair pulled back in a long braided hair style.  My condolences go out to her family.  RIP Regina.......

My family and me are so saddened at the loss of Regina Blair. She was one of the finest teachers that Chapel Hill had, my boys were both blessed to have had her.My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to your family.  Mrs. Blair was a wonderful teacher, the perfect person to introduce children into the world of learning.  She had a kind, compassionate, funny personality that made young children comfortable and confident.   The world needs more people like her!  We feel blessed to have known her and will miss her deeply!   Sarah Cooper (former Chapel Hill kindergarten student '97) and Suzanne Cooper

Rest in Heaven my friend! My thoughts and prayers are with your family and your Mom. A beautiful soul gone too soon but will remain in my heart forever.
We go a long way back! Sorrowfully, Janice Porter-Posey

I had Miss Pringle as my kindergarten teacher at Chapel Hill.  She was one of my favorite teachers there.  She will be missed.

I am deeply saddened on the loss of such a good person my Thoughts and prayers are with you on the  loss of your mother , I met your mom as Mrs Pringle in 1983 when my oldest daughter Jennafer had her for kindergarten at Chapel Hill , I just recently was going through old papers and ran across a paper Jennafer wrote about her being her favorite teacher and thanking her for teaching her how to write left handed , My second daughter Amy had her the following year in 1984 and third daughter Katie had her in 1988 . We all loved her caring and nurturing way , she was very patient , kind and comforting to my children and myself as a first time mom sending her firstborn off to school for the first time  . My youngest daughter Brittany did not get the opportunity to have her as a teacher but did get to meet her and hear all the wonderful stories about our Mrs Pringle ! I had the opportunity to keep in touch with her throughout the years and my girls and I did get to see her not to long ago at Applebees - a nice reunion !  God Bless you all and your mom was loved by so many - Sincerely Mary Sanders

Mrs. Blair taught both of my children at Chapel Hill and had a very positive influence on them for the rest of their school years. She was a true treasure and will be missed. Prayers to the family.

My prayers are with the family of Regina have know her for many year worked with her at Chapel Hill she was well Loved-When someone you love becomes a memory the memory becomes a treasure rest in peace God is with you

Mrs. Pringle was my kindergarten teacher at Chapel Hill in the mid 80's. She was the epitome of the perfect kindergarten teacher. I adored everything about her and have only positive memories. As a white little girl in the mid 80's, she was the first African American I had personally known and she taught me that the color of your skin is just that, the color of your skin. It has nothing to do with who you are on the inside. That lesson will last a lifetime.  As a prek teacher,  I pray and hope I can leave a lasting mark on my students the way she did to me. My heart was so saddened to hear of her passing. My prayers are with her family and loved ones during this devastatingly sad time. I pray you will feel the peace from Jesus that surpasses all understanding.

Wonderful caring person.  May God send others to wrap you with love and comfort during these saddest of times in your life.

 I've known Regina since junior high school, seventh grade. We lived on the same street in Columbia Mo.  We graduated, separated and went our own ways. I see she did some great things; a teacher. Regina, may you rest in peace fellow classmate of 69.

Rest in Peace young lady and you now have the understanding that passeth all understanding

Sending prayers and asking the Lord for comfort and to wrap his arms the family & friends with the lost of a special person...

My son had Mrs Blair as a teacher when he was in Kindergarten at Chapel Hill.  She was the sweetest woman and the kindest teacher...we are all saddened at her loss.  Sending prayers to her family.

What a lady! Keeping the family in our thoughts. Joe and Lisa Brotherton

My heart goes out to Mrs. Blair's family and friends. She taught my children at Chapel Hill Elementary. She touched many lives. She was a wonderful woman. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember working in the NKC School district  with Regina. She was one of the first teachers that I met when I  started in the fall of 1977. Joy and Charlie attended Paseo Baptist Daycare with my son. Rest in peace.

I met Regina when I started working at Chapel Hill, and we quickly became friends. We talked about our families and shared pictures over lunches.  We could always make each other laugh. I know how much she loved her family. I loved the times I spent with your mom, and I will cherish her friendship.   Your mom was special, and I wish she was here so I could tell her that.
