Edith Mae Anephol Wiggins was born on Sept. 7, 1925, in New Orleans and died 
from Alzheimer's disease on Sunday, July 20, 2008, at her home in Baton Rouge. 
She graduated from high school and Soulé Business College in New Orleans and 
was employed by the Pullman R.R. Co., where she met her husband Jack. After 
her marriage, she became a fulltime homemaker and mother. The family moved to 
Baton Rouge in 1962 due to her husband's transfer with the U.S. Customs 
Service. She was a member of Parkview Baptist Church for many years. Edith 
will be remembered most by those who loved her for her very sweet spirit and 
kind heart, her deep belief and reliance on God, her wonderful smile, her love 
of people, especially babies and small children and her love of tap dancing 
and music. She was a delight to all who knew her, taught us all many lessons 
about life and will be deeply missed by her family and friends. Preceded in 
death by her husband of 56 years, Hebert L. "Jack" Wiggins; parents, Charles 
and Helen Anepohl; and brother, Charley Anephol. Survived by her two 
daughters, Patricia "Patsy" Shaw and her husband, Neli Shaw, and Lynn Wiggins 
and her partner, Marna Manning; two nieces, Louise Loyd and her husband, Larry 
Loyd and Gay Anepohol Yarbrough and her husband, Max Yarbrough III; great-
niece, Sarah Yarbrough; nephew, John D. Stewart; and cousin, Marie B. Ewing. 
The family of Edith Wiggins wishes to express their love and deep appreciation 
to Vertabell "Bert" Lanehart, Edith's devoted caregiver of four years. Mrs. 
Lanehart's loving care of Edith made it possible for her to remain at home 
throughout her illness and she has become one of the family. Appreciation and 
gratitude is also extended to the nursing staff and caregivers of St. Joseph's 
Hospice during Edith's last months of her life. Visiting at Rabenhorst Funeral 
Home East, 11000 Florida Blvd., on Tuesday, July 22, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. 
Visitation resumes on Wednesday from 9 a.m. until funeral service in the 
chapel at 10 a.m., conducted by the Rev. Merlin Liverman. Graveside service at 
Greenwood Cemetery in New Orleans at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. In lieu of flowers, 
the family ask that donations be made to St. Joseph's Hospice, 5215 Essen 
Lane, Suite 10, Baton Rouge, LA 70809 or Alzheimer's Foundation, 3772 North
