BIGGS

Ms. Catherine Lipscomb Biggs, age 50, of Ocean Springs, Miss., died peacefully 
at home surrounded by family and dear friends after a courageous battle against 
cancer.

Ms. Biggs was born on May 18, 1961, in Baton Rouge and was a native of Slidell 
and New Orleans. She was living in Ocean Springs at the time of her passing. 

Upon receiving her bachelor's and master's degrees from Loyola University of New 
Orleans, Catherine started her teaching career in Atlanta, Ga., where she began 
her family. She subsequently moved to the Gulf Coast area where she continued 
her teaching until Hurricane Katrina at which point she opened her store Flying 
Wild in Ocean Springs. The last two years, Catherine dedicated herself to the 
Gulf Coast Women's Center for Nonviolence.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Ann Hamilton Trepagnier.

Ms. Biggs was a loving and devoted mother to her two daughters, Emilie Catherine 
Biggs and Meghan Hamilton Biggs. Survivors also include her father, W.L. "Roy" 
Lipscomb, brother and sister, Roy C. Lipscomb and Lauren K. Lipscomb and aunts, 
Virginia Trepagnier McManus and Kate Harris Trepagnier

On Saturday, May 28, 2011, there will be an 11 a.m. church service at St. 
Patrick's Episcopal Church of Long Beach, 310 North Cleveland Avenue, Long 
Beach, Miss. A Celebration of Life will follow the service in the church 
fellowship hall.

In lieu of flowers, Catherine requested donations be made in her memory to the 
Gulf Coast Women's Center for Nonviolence, P.O. Box 333, Biloxi, MS 39533 or

The family would like to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to the 
Odyssey Hospice of Gulfport, Miss. The family would also like to express their 
gratitude to the loving friends and community of Ocean Springs, Miss. and St. 
Patrick's Episcopal Church. The family extends a debt of gratitude to
