Auto Accident Claims Life of Student

As published in the Oklahoma City Community College Pioneer on 21 September 1998

By Melissa Guice, Assistant Editor

When Paula Hess talks about her daughter Regina, she recalls a young woman who made friends easily.

"She collected friends like some people collect flowers, " said her mother Paula Hess.

OKCC student, Regina "Reg" Hess, died Saturday, Sept. 12, following a car accident in Newcastle.

At about 5:30 p.m., Hess was driving westbound on S.E. 32nd St. when her car left the roadway. It traveled about 250 feet before it struck a utility pole, said Newcastle Police Lt. Frank Hibbs who is in charge of the investigation.

At present the cause of the wreck is unknown.

Hess was born on Dec. 12, 1977, in West Plains, Mo. She grew up in Colorado and moved to Newcastle where she was very active in school activities and sports at the local high school.

Her high school years were spent behind home plate where she played catcher for the Newcastle Lady Racers. She was also an outfielder for the team. During her junior year she was named Offensive Player of the Year for the Western Division All Conference.

She was an honor student who received many awards as well as being named Who's Who in Sports. She was also a homecoming queen candidate many times.

Upon graduating high school, Hess received a full softball scholarship to Wichita State University in Wichita, Kan. She had played Division I softball at WSU for the past two years until she decided to return home to be closer to her brothers.

"She loved her brothers very much," her mother said. "They were her life, her whole family and friends were her life.

"She took care of everyone she loved."

After Hess returned to Oklahoma, she began taking classes at OKCCC with plans to earn her associate's degree. She was considering transferring to the University of Oklahoma where she wanted to major in health sports counseling.

"She figured that a lot of kids needed help when it came to dealing with sports and school," her mother said. "She even knew, herself, what it was like to deal with school and sports and everyday life. She just wanted to help others with the stress of it all."

Funeral services were Sept. 15 at the First Baptist Church in Newcastle. About 1,600 attended.

Burial was at Oakdale Cemetery in Paden Oklahoma.

Survivors include her mother, Paula Hess of Newcastle; her father, Jerome Hess of Simla, Colo.; two brothers, Paul and Jeremy Hess of Newcastle; maternal grandparents, the Rev. Wayne and Karen Ray of Paden; paternal grandparents, Bonnie and Flem Ball of Emerald Isle, N.C., and Winfred and Lois Hess of Pounding Mill, Va.; paternal great grandmother Sadie Campbell of Doran, Va.; three aunts, Rita Bohn, Jeanna Dobry and Teresa Capps; four uncles, Brian Hess, Paul Ray, Ronnie Ray and Jimmy Ray; many great aunts and great uncles, cousins and other relatives and friends.

Hess was preceded in death by her grandmother, Helen Lorene Ray in 1982.

A memorial fund has been set up in Hess' memory. Memorials may be sent to Regina Hess Memorial Fund c/o Tri-Star Bank, P.O. Box 638, 1308 N. Main St., Newcastle, OK 73065.

One person was killed in a Monday afternoon crash when the vehicle he was driving ran off Interstate 10 west of Jennings and flipped several times.

McCommons was transported to Lafayette General Hospital and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

According to investigators from Troop D, on September 28 at around 5:15 p.m., the 2003 Ford pick-up truck, driven by McCommons from Rayne was traveling east on Interstate 10 in Jefferson Davis Parish. While traveling east on Interstate 10, the left rear tire of the 2003 Ford pick-up blew out, causing the truck to lose control. The pick-up truck ran off the roadway and flipped several times, ejecting McCommons. A passenger in the pick-up truck, Amy Kibodeaux, 30, from Scott, was wearing a seatbelt and was not injured in the crash.

Toxicology tests are pending at the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab. The crash remains under investigation.

Children of John and Henrietta (Paterson) Morrison

John Morrison and Henrietta Paterson had four children:

2.2.2.1.1.3.1 John Morrison (1944- )

John Morrison was in 1944 likely in Blantyre or Bellshill. However, four babies named John Morrison were born in 1944 in those to parishes so I cannot be sure which one is the correct John Morrison. His daughter currently lives in England.

2.2.2.1.1.3.2. Alexander Paterson Morrison (1946)

Alexander Paterson Morrison was born in 1946 in Blantyre.

2.2.2.1.1.3.3. Elizabeth Morrison (1951- )

Elizabeth Brodie Morrison was born in 1951 in Blantyre. She was raised by her aunt and uncle, David and Marison Sneddon (Lively) Gibson, as her mother had a stroke after her birth.

2.2.2.1.1.3.4. Norman Morrison (1915-1915)

Norman Morrison was born in 1955 in Bellshill. There is no death registration for him so I assume he died hours after birth. His niece indicated he died as an infant.
