Regina Kavchak Skitka

   Regina Kavchak Skitka, 80, of Hertford, NC passed away Saturday, August 6, 2022 in her home.

   Regina was born in Middlesex County, NJ on December 16, 1941, and was the daughter of the late John and Regina Diken Kavchak.

   She married her love, James A. Skitka, 54 years ago and raised two sons: James and John, while working in the Carteret New Jersey school system. Later, she and her husband retired to the Albemarle Plantation. Her home was her delight and she especially enjoyed each season of the year in which she always celebrated with appropriate decorations. Her life was filled with family and friends, including many new friends who shared her and James’ interest in wood carving. Known for her kindness and good-natured humor, she made a distinct impression on all who knew her.

   Surviving is her husband James Skitka; two sons, James Skitka, Jr. and John Skitka, both of Carteret, NJ; a sister, Mary Ann Keyes of Elizabeth City, NC; and many cousins and extended family members.
