By obits

 

Regis Carroll, 86, of Speers, passed away peacefully at his home on Monday, Feb. 11, 2019. He was born June 15, 1932, in North Charleroi, son of the late John Regis and Virginia Steen Carroll. Regis was a member of Mary, Mother of the Church Parish in Charleroi, Charleroi Lodge No. 1030 I.O.O.F. Charleroi Masonic Lodge No. 615 F.&A.M., S.A.R. and the Ancient Hibernian. He was a founding member of the M.M.V.T.A. and emergency management director for the borough of Charleroi and Dunlevy. He retired from Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Allenport Plant and then was a real estate agent employed with Collins Hall Real Estate Agency. Regis for over 40 years was always active in community services from first being appointed to council to president and then mayor of the borough of Dunlevy. He was elected to Charleroi borough council, became president, and later was elected to the Speers borough council completing his final year last year. He never considered himself as a politician, but an elected official putting citizens first without personal gains.
