Born in:
Smithtown, New York
Resided in:
Brentwood, New York
Regina Marie Zito (Dicecco) was a beautiful soul, taken from us too soon.
Regina was not only a bright light in our lives but a constant source of joy. She had a smile that could brighten the darkest of days. Her happiness was so infectious, and her spirit shone so brightly, it was impossible not to be drawn to her warmth, laughter and her amazing hugs.
She carried with her a lightness of being that lifted everyone around her. No matter the challenges she faced, she remained the epitome of positivity. Her heart was pure, and she gave her love so freely, always eager to bring comfort to those who needed it most.
To know Regina was to know that joy is found in the simplest of moments. Whether it was a quiet conversation, a hug, a shared laugh, or a spontaneous adventure, she made every experience feel special. Her presence was a reminder that happiness doesn’t have to be earned— sometimes, it’s just a choice we make. She made that choice every single day.
A beloved wife, daughter, granddaughter, sister, Titi, niece, cousin, friend, and coworker—her absence leaves an unfathomable immense void. In the selfless way she lived, may her legacy inspire us to carry forward her smile, her light, love, and happiness. We can honor her memory by choosing joy, by smiling through the tough times, and by embracing life with the same love and light she always did.
“Once there was a tree…and she loved a little boy. And every day the boy would come and he would gather her leaves and make them into crowns and play king of the forest. He would climb up her trunk and swing from her branches and eat apples. And they would play hide and seek. And when the boy was tired, he would sleep in her shade. And the boy loved the tree…very much. And the tree was happy…”
Regina was our Giving Tree…she loved genuinely, effortlessly and selflessly. The love she had for her nieces and nephews is a testament to who she was and palpable in the images within these pages.
Rest in peace, our sweet Regina, and may your essence live on in all of us. You will always be missed, and you will never be forgotten.
…until we meet again

Love, Alex John
Reggie, you will forever be in my heart as an amazing person and such a wonderful cousin. I am grateful for every memory I have of you, thank you for being part of my life. I so fondly remember you being with us when everyone would get together or when we’d go to the soccer games. You may not be here with us physically, but you are forever in the heart of everyone who had the honor of knowing you. Rest in peace, you are never forgotten. We love you so much.
You will be missed but never forgotten. Your beautiful smile will remain with us forever.
So saddened to hear of Regina’s passing. A lovely person and the rock of the Treatment Mall. She always had the biggest warmest smile and kept her cool during the most trying moments. She was always so helpful to me and to so many others. So tragic. Deepest condolences to her family and friends. RIP Regina!❤️
Our hearts are broken to hear of your loss. Seems unfathomable to us. We can never forget Regina calling Bob ” almost brother Bob” and playing hockey with all the boys. .in younger years that seem not so long ago. Hugs to you all from PA.
We are so deeply sorry for the passing of Regina. She was a beautiful sensitive person.
May her beautiful memories of her bring
your family comfort and peace at this time.
We love you Lisa and our thoughts are with your family
You’ll love for your daughter will never fade, and her memory will forever be a part of you. May the warmth of those memories bring you comfort and strength during this unbearable time.
My deepest condolences to the Dicecco and Zito families. Regina made the very daunting task of handling the scheduling of treatment programs appear so easy, and did it all with a smile on her face. When I took on a similar task in my new role and had questions, she was always so willing to share her knowledge and helpful tools to make my life easier. You could always count on Regina to help in any way she could. Truly a beautiful soul. Rest in peace to one of PPC’s best.
May flights of angels guide Regina to her well deserved rest and
may the love she brought to life everyday remain with all of us forever. ❤️
Love you to the moon and back TiTi!
Love Grace & Hai Hai
