Regina M Troiano of Stannard passed from this world on January 29th 2025 at the age of 77. Regina was born in Staten Island NY where she was educated in local school. She attended college in NY and took a job working for a high powered stock brokerage house in NYC.

She was asked to go to San Francisco to rescue the West coast branch. She returned to Staten Island where she worked as business manager for a car sales and rental business. In 1971 she married her husband of 53 years Chip Troiano. In 1972 they purchased their farm on Stannard Mountain where they have lived ever since.

Early years in Stannard were homesteading years, raising all their own meat and hand milking a couple of cows and making butter and cheese from the whole milk. Regina took a job as bookkeeper with the Greensboro Garage where she worked for over 20 years. Most recently working as business manager for the Buffalo Mountain Coop. Regina worked hard to make the move of the Coop to Mill St to happen. She loved working there and having contact with all of the local people who shopped there. She was loved by many for her sometimes snarky wit and her friendly greetings. Regina retired from the coop after her stroke in March. In spite of some of the limitations that presented she still felt her obligation to go to the office and help out any way she could.

Regina was an incredible gardener for many years growing and putting up most of the vegetables for the year. In later years she turned her attention to her beloved flower gardens. She took great pleasure spending hours working in her gardens and the pleasure it gave to all who traveled by the house on Hutchins Farm Rd. Regina served the town of Stannard for many years, on the Select board and then for many years as town Treasurer. Regina was also active in our surrounding communities, serving on the board of the Hardwick Food Pantry and volunteering as their bookkeeper.
