Mrs. Regina Ann McDaniel

Regina McDaniel, 72, of Jonesboro, passed peacefully on July 11, 2025, at the Flo and Phil Jones Hospice House in Jonesboro. She was preceded in death by both her parents Raymond and Laura Jane Lamberson and her grandson, Zach Emerson. Regina was a longtime member of South West Church of Christ. A true Southern lady with sass and sparkle, she was known for being dressed to the nines wherever she went. Her wardrobe was dazzling, her jewelry always fabulous, and she never met a polka dot she didn’t like. Whether she was shopping at her favorite boutique “Dressing Gaudy,” baking up something sweet, or lounging poolside in style, she did it all with flair. She loved Branson, enjoyed a good trip to Tunica, and—despite her distaste for her son’s tattoos—was a huge Jelly Roll fan who proudly attended his concert last year. She owned and operated a successful nail salon for many years and took great pride in her appearance. Regina believed that pretty nails were a non-negotiable—her fingernails and toenails were always polished to perfection, no matter the occasion. She was often referred to as a real-life Barbie doll—and it wasn’t just the clothes. Regina had a quick wit, a strong opinion, and a heart that fiercely loved her family. She was a perfectionist in everything she touched, from fashion to baking to the beautiful pageant dresses she hand-sewed for her daughter over the years. Regina didn’t go anywhere without her beloved pug, Piper, who was always as well-dressed as she was. Regina was bold, outspoken, fashionable, and unforgettable—truly one of a kind. She is survived by her loving husband of 12 years, Mickey McDaniel; three children: Chrissy Garcia (Gus), Brandon Kapales, and Marty Emerson; grandchildren: Lashaey Mask, Bo Earnhart, Zoey Garcia, Quinton Kapales, Kaylee Kapales, Kazdon Kapales and Terra Emerson; great-grandchildren: Kylan Mask, Ruger Mask, Gauge Mask, Braxton Earnhart, Onyx Kapales,and Sterling Kapales. Her brother Terry Lamberson (Michele). Her pug, Piper and many other friends and extended family. A graveside service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 16, at Jonesboro Memorial Park Cemetery. Adam Brewer of South West Church of Christ will officiate. Tri-City LLC Crematory & Funeral Home is privileged and honored to serve the McDaniel family. Online condolences may be expressed at www.Tri-CityLLC.com .
