I am so very sorry to hear about Mrs. Folger… We had some amazing times with all the Port Rats at The Folger’s…
May she rest in peace and may all the men in her life, Peter, Stephen, Kenneth & David be blessed during this difficult time.

So sorry that Regina did not have many more years to share her enthusiasm and passion for life. At Dorchester Academy we often had conversations about how to fix what was wrong with the world. She was remarkably observant and had a wonderful sense of humor that she shared with her colleagues and her students. She could fight like the dickens for what she believed in. She could also take a very cloudy day and coax the sun to appear. The world is a smaller place without her.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult
Time.

miss you.
I worked with Mrs. Folger at Dorchester Academy during which time she was a paraprofessional in my classroom. Mrs. Folger cared about her students and colleagues. She was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand and a listening ear. She was a valuable asset not only to her students but also to me personally. I admired her feistiness as well as her kindness. Im so very sorry to hear of her passing and offer my sincere condolences to her family.
I first met Mrs. Folger when I was a brand new teacher, living in a brand new state, working at the Woodrow Wilson School. Regina was so warm and welcoming and so full of information to share. She had a wonderful energy and strength that made me smile always. Regina was so supportive and encouraging not just to me but to all of her students as well. They loved her too. I will forever be grateful to have had such a wonderful friend and colleague during my early years as a teacher.
JP and I would like to send our deepest condolences, love and prayers to all of her family.
Dear Peter and family, we are just learning of Reginas passing. She was a bright star at Neponset community with our boys. May she rest in peace. Jean and Jim Hunt
