Reina Alice Eich was born prematurely November 25, 2020 in Sioux Falls to Bryan Eich & Regina Dixon. Reina lived the first 4 weeks of her life at the Avera NICU in Sioux Falls where she received the best care. On December 28th Reina was transferred to the Omaha Children's Hospital NICU. December 30th a heart procedure was performed to close an underdeveloped valve. She would remain in Omaha for another 4 weeks. During this time her health saw peaks and valleys. Reina was a mere 1 pound 7 ounces at birth. She may have been small but fierce none the less, a fighter till the very end.
Reina will be greatly missed by her parents, Bryan & Regina; brother, Anthony; maternal grandmother, Alice Dixon; paternal grandparents, Donna (Don) Amert & Bruce (Sharon) Eich; five aunts, Kaddie Dixon, Sara Wardner, Amanda Amert, Lauren Antonen & Kimberly Giltner; one uncle, Brian Dixon and extended family.

Blessed be her memory.
