Regina Grantham Brown, 82, of Jesup, Ga. died, Wednesday, January 13, 2021 in Harborview Nursing Home.  The native and life-long resident of Wayne County was a member of the Jesup Presbyterian Church. Regina served as a bailiff for over 40 years in the Wayne County Court System working under several sheriffs, judges and lawyers, treating them all as her own children.
