Regan Elizabeth Shetsky's Obituary
Regan Elizabeth Shetsky, age 3, of Syracuse, passed away tragically on Wednesday, January 4, 2017. Regan will be remembered as a spirited, spunky and fearless adventurer with a joyful smile and a laugh that melted hearts. Known for her signature bow in her hair, Regan was her mama’s “love bug,” daddy’s “sweetie pie” and everyone’s little helper. She loved the playground, the beach and went hand-in-hand with her beloved big brother and true best friend. Regan’s energy and love lit up the room. If you captured her heart, she would jump into your arms and never let you go.
Regan Elizabeth is survived by her parents, Mark and Kelly (Quinn) Shetsky; her brother, Gavin Shetsky; maternal grandparents, George and Barbara (Spillane) Quinn of Chatham, NY; paternal grandparents, David and Elsie (Piser) Shetsky of Craryville, NY; great-grandmother, Irene Quinn; maternal aunt, Colleen (James) Meltz; maternal uncle, Kevin (Kristin) Quinn; paternal uncles, Bruce (Bonnie) Shetsky and David (Adriana) Shetsky; godparents, Alfred Dziewit and Kristi Morris; her loving cousins, Daniel, Kyle, and Abigail Shetsky; James, Julia, Nicholas, and Michaela Meltz; and Brendan Quinn, along with several loving great-aunts, great-uncles, and extended family.
