Council honors longtime public servant Anne Marie Regan with proclamation
Summary
Scranton City Council presented a proclamation recognizing Anne Marie Regan for decades of public service, noting she was the first woman elected to a Lackawanna County row office and served as recorder of deeds from 1974 to 1998.
The Scranton City Council honored Anne Marie Regan on April 28 with a proclamation recognizing her long public-service career. The proclamation recounted Regan's service as the first woman elected to a Lackawanna County row office and her six reelections as recorder of deeds, a post she held from 1974 until her 1998 retirement.
A family member accepted the proclamation and described Regan's personal care for family members, saying she was "one of the most compassionate people you would ever meet" and that family members called her "Riri." The family member said the framed proclamation would be displayed outside their apartment in a continuing‑care facility.
Council members read the proclamation and invited Regan's family to the dais; the recognition was ceremonial and no formal policy action was attached to the item.
