(Regina Lynn circa 1965)

Regina Lynn, nee, Regina Feldman, 87, passed away on August 13, 2025, in Green Cove Springs, Florida. She was born on July 12, 1938, in Orangeburg, South Carolina as the only daughter of Benjamin and Rosalyn Feldman and the youngest child of four children. She grew up in Palatka, Florida with her parents and three brothers, Eli, Harold, and Sammy.

Around 1956, Regina left Palatka to move to New York City to pursue her love of music and theatre. With her many talents and independent spirit, Regina achieved a successful career in music and show business spanning from the late 1950s to the 1990s. In the beginning of her career, Regina appeared in numerous Broadway musicals. She was an exceptional singer with a beautiful contralto voice which landed her roles in productions such as, “Now Is The Time For All Good Men,” “The Producers,” and “1776.” One of her idols was singer-actress Jane Froman, and Regina’s singing style was very much influenced by her. Her knowledge of show business was expansive and included all aspects of theatre production such as lighting, set design, staging, costume design, and so on. She later became one of the busiest music contractors for 9-time Emmy award winner Elliott Lawrence in New York City. In 1976, Regina won a Tony Award from the Tenth Telecast of the American Theater Wing for her distinguished achievement in Broadway theatre. In 1982, she won an Emmy for her contribution to “A Night of 100 Stars” which won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Program. Regina’s meticulous and organized approach to her work undoubtedly contributed to her successful career as a music contractor in the New York show business scene, and she had the privilege of working with countless entertainment celebrities.

Regina received an Antoinette Perry Award, commonly known as the Tony Award, for distinguished achievement in Broadway theatre.

Upon her retirement from show business in New York City, Regina returned to Palatka where she continued to enjoy music and theatre. She especially enjoyed the company of her friends and family with whom she shared many precious memories.

Regina is survived by her brother, Sammy “Forever” Fields, her nephew David Fields, Judy Tucker Fields and their son, Jasper Fields, her niece Launa Fields Ryan and her husband, Ronald Ryan and their daughter, Amelia Ryan, and her nieces and nephews, Sheree Jackson and her husband and children, Adam Fields and his wife and children, and Kimberly Fields. She was preceded in death by her parents, Benjamin and Rosalyn Feldman and brothers Eli Feldman and Harold Feldman. A beloved sister, aunt, great-aunt, and friend. She will always live on in our hearts.
