Obituary
Julia Regina Wolfinger, matriarch of a family embracing 74 children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, died Tuesday. She was 96 and lived in Huntingdon Valley, Montgomery County.
Known to everyone as Regina, she was a homemaker who loved having her family around, including her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who visited her at the Redeemer Village retirement home.
She liked to sing, and in her earlier years, with 10 children underfoot and no television, her home was often filled with song, recalled a son, Chief Inspector Robert Wolfinger of the Philadelphia Police Department.
Her first husband, John McCormick, died in 1918. Her second husband, John A. Wolfinger, a Supplee Milk Co. delivery man whom she met while working as a bookkeeper, died in 1938.
She was a former resident of Cheltenham, Montgomery County, and the city's East Germantown section.
She also outlived four of her children: Benjamin Wolfinger, Martha Warwick, Jenny Pagan and Brother Eliseus Joseph, F.S.C., a former teacher at La Salle High School.
In addition to Robert Wolfinger, she is survived by three other sons, John ''Jack" McCormick Jr., Vincent Wolfinger and Barry Wolfinger; two daughters, Anne Levy and Regina Kehoe; 26 grandchildren and 42 great- grandchildren.
Mass of Christian Burial will be said at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow at the Chapel of Immaculate Mary Home, Welsh Road and Holme Circle, where friends may call at 9 a.m. Friends also may call from 7 to 9 tonight at the John F. Fluehr & Sons Funeral Home, 3301-15 Cottman Ave.
