KENNEBUNK — Terri J. Regan (formally Terri Jean Daly), 72, of Kennebunk, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 17, 2015 surrounded by her loving family at Seal Rock Healthcare in Saco.

Terri was born in Biddeford on Sept. 2, 1942, a daughter of Thelma and Thomas Daly and sister to Thomas Jeremiah (Jerry) Daly.

She was a 1960 graduate of Biddeford High School and received a Bachelor’s of Education from Springfield College in 1964, and then a Master’s of Education at University of Maine Orono.

Terri taught physical education in a distinguished 36-year career at Wells High School. She was also one of the first female high school athletic directors in Maine. Through the years she coached field hockey, basketball, softball and track and field. She was a popular coach, with her team affectionately known as “Regan’s Renegades.”

Over several summers, she managed the day camp at Paradise Park in Old Orchard Beach. She was inducted into the Wells High School Hall of Fame in 2004. Her work in coaching field hockey in particular led her to being inducted into the Maine Field Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009.

Terri was married to Robert M. Regan on March 31, 1966, and shared a loving home in Kennebunk where they raised their daughter Susan. The Regans are a close-knit family, spending much of their summer at Mother’s Beach in Kennebunk, or with their extended family on Balch Lake in Acton.

Terri was a very proud grandmother of Abigail and Natalie, always following their many activities and entertaining them in Kennebunk.

Terri enjoyed all sports and could be frequently seen supporting local high school events in the area. She was an avid reader, enjoyed puzzles and was a social card player with her network of friends. While her summers were spent in Kennebunk, she enjoyed winters in Anna Maria Island, Florida.
