Regine Hensel

Regine J. Hensel, 67, our beloved mother, wife, grandmother, and sister passed away on Monday, August 4, 2025 after a two-and-a-half-year battle with cancer. She is survived by her husband, Michael of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; her son, Maximilian and daughter-in-law, Kelsi and granddaughter, Eva Faith of Athol, Idaho; son, Matthew and daughter-in-law, Madeline and granddaughter, Elowyn Hensel of Mesa, Arizona; and her brother, Martin Bartel of Stuttgart, Germany.

She was born on February 22, 1958 in Stuttgart, Germany, the daughter of Wilhelm and Else (Braeuninger) Bartel.

Regine was retired from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Fort Indiantown Gap, Annville, Pennsylvania. After retirement, she and Michael moved to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho in 2021. She felt truly blessed to be living in this beautiful area where she enjoyed hiking, biking, and camping. She quickly made many friends and treasured her friendships with all.

Regine was a former member of St. Matthews Lutheran Church in Lebanon, Pennsylvania and is a current member of Lutheran Church of the Master in Coeur d’Alene. Her faith and life’s mantra comes from John 13:34 – that we are to love one another. A memorial service will be held at the LCM at a future date.
