Heather Marie Regan, 53, of Everett, MA passed away peacefully on April 19, 2026, surrounded by her family. Born in Saugus, MA to her parents Paul and Beverly Regan of Milton, South Woodstock, VT and presently Hingham, MA. Heather graduated from Milton High School and Colgate University where she received a BS in Biology and a minor in Chemistry.

Throughout her college years she was active in support of Habitat for Humanity.

After college Heather joined The Peace Corp and served in Niger, Africa.

Upon her return to the states skills developed at Colgate University, led her to her positions at both Harvard Medical school running a lab overseeing retina research for the National Health Institute and then on to Boston University Medical School putting to use her expertise in electron microscopy.

Heather’s passionate, what’s next, curiosity meant career moves through the years becoming a talented baker working at Boston top hotels with James Beard recognized chefs; starting her own company “The Collared Canine” and finding her niche in bartending at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel for over 20 years.

    My sincere condolences for the passing of Heather. Heather was my first bartender I had such great conversations with her. There was no subject that she was not knowledgeable about. As I traveled the country coming home was special to stop in and say hello. I truly believe that God has got a great one, may you rest in peace my friend.

    I've been looking back at my phone memories from our days working together at Bonfire, and it really brought home how special that time was. We had some great moments, even in what could be a stressful environment — and Heather was a big part of why it didn't feel so heavy. I absolutely loved her dry sarcasm and quick wit, but also the way she brought her science background into the pastry world. Her precision, organisation, and methodical approach elevated everything around her and showed just how powerful that blend of knowledge and creativity could be. Those memories have reminded me that, in the end, the pressure doesn't matter nearly as much as the people you share it with. And Heather was a perfect example of that — smart, sharp, and genuinely great to work alongside. She made the days better just by being there. She'll be very fondly remembered.
