June 5, 1951 ~ September 24, 2024


Regina Lee (Suchaverski) Higginson, age 73, of Swedesboro, NJ passed away on September 24, 2024.

Regina “Jeannie” was born on June 5, 1951 to Leon and Regina (Haverty) Suchaverski in Philadelphia, PA. After Jeannie graduated from Cardinal Dougherty High School, she went on to work at Bell Telephone before meeting her husband Robert (Bob) in 1967. Jeannie and Bob married two years later and went on to have three children: Robert, Tim, and Christina. In 1991, Bob, Jeannie, and their children moved from Philadelphia, PA to Swedesboro, NJ where they settled into the new home they built themselves, on their beautiful property with the most wonderful sunsets.

Jeannie spent time working as a preschool teacher’s aide and at Heritage’s Dairy Stores in Swedesboro, NJ before taking a job at the Gloucester County Unemployment Office in 1992. After spending 25 years working for the County, she retired in 2017 and spent her time gardening, tending to her pool and ponds, taking care of her cats and chickens, and spending time with her family – especially her grandchildren. Jeannie and Bob would take any opportunity they could to spend time with their grandchildren. In fact, while expecting their 2nd and 3rd grandchildren, they went out and bought themselves a minivan to be sure they had room for them all! They would take them on shopping trips to Boscov’s, Ollie’s, Booths Corner or the Amish Market and frequent so many restaurants and diners. They’d have them over to their house to swim, hike and find treasures in the woods, play outside, do crafts, or play games. Jeannie always had the time for her grandchildren. She’d spend hours and hours sitting with them, listening to them, and playing with them. She had an abundance of patience for them and they truly just loved spending time with her. Jeannie always hosted Thanksgiving dinner – a tradition her children and grandchildren looked forward to every year. We’d spend the entire day cooking, eating, spending time outside, and playing board games together. Our family was also fortunate to spend many summer vacations together, enjoying time at Knoebels, Tennessee, Disney World, and Cancun.

Jeannie was predeceased by her father and mother, Leon and Regina (Haverty) Suchaverski. She is survived by her husband Bob Higginson; children: Robert (Denise) Higginson, Tim (Jessica) Higginson, Christina (Rob) Barnabei; and, her 4 grandchildren: Timmy, Oliver, and Annabelle Higginson and Vera Barnabei.

Jeannie loved her family and we sure loved her back. We will miss sitting around the table together, out on the front porch, or on the back deck, just catching up and talking about life.

A viewing will be held, 10 AM to noon, on Monday September 30, 2024 at Cheega Funeral Home, 1329 Kings Highway, Swedesboro, NJ. Graveside Service will follow at Lake Park Cemetery, Woolwich Township.
