Reggina Eagleman

August 19, 1985 – April 10, 2021

Reggina Eagleman, 35, Minneapolis, began her journey to the spirit world On April 10, 2021. Reggina Kelly-Irene Eagleman was born August 19, 1985, in Denver Colorado. She is the daughter of Levi J. Eagleman and Ermel F. Deane. She was an enrolled member of the Three Affiliated Tribes. At a young age, Reggina’s parents moved to Minneapolis, MN. After their passing she was raised by Ermel’s, sister Eunice Deane. 

She grew up with her two siblings, Brendaleah and Roberta, along with Eunice’s children. Reggina spent a lot of her life living in Minneapolis taking care of her Aunt/Mom, siblings, nieces, nephews, and grand babies. 

Reggina loved to cook, always making sure dinner was made. She enjoyed fishing and playing Xbox games. She also enjoyed teasing with all her relatives. Her favorite entertainment was wrestling, making sure pay per views were ordered. When back home she also enjoyed going to pow wows. 

She spent some of her life in Bemidji, MN, where she lived with family and later a special friend, Jenna Roy and her daughter, Caydence Roy, whom Reggina took in as her own.  She also lived in New Town, ND with her older sister, Jolynn Deane, and other family for a brief time. 

One time when her Uncle Russell took her up to Northern Minnesota, Reggina picked up what she thought was a belt, whipping it around. Until her uncle said to her “You know what you have, it’s a snake!” which caused her to throw it right away. 

Reggina will be remembered and missed by many. She is survived by her siblings, Jolynn Deane, Kimberly (Deane) Bellanger, Brendaleah Eagleman, and Roberta Reed; half-siblings, Rain-Sno, Memoree-Luv, Pretty Dear Flower, WinterHawk, and Levi Eagleman Jr.; aunt/mom, Eunice Deane; sisters and brothers, Sherry IronNecklace, Kerry IronNecklace, Duane BigBear, Sarah BigBear, and Jolanda Deane; her aunts and uncles, Joseph (Della) Deane Jr, Russell (Anita Howard) Deane, Jackie (Darwin) Mason, Lillian Deane; and all of her many relatives from her blended family.
