Jacqueline Norton Wiggins

Jacqueline Norton Wiggins or Jackie as everyone knew her, 86, of Valdosta, GA, went to be with the Lord on February 3, 2016. She was born in Boston, GA on November 4, 1929 and was the daughter of the late Hugh Grovenstein Norton and Ola Pitts Norton. As a child growing up in Boston, she enjoyed sports and working in the family general store. After graduation from high school, she went to Georgia State College for Women in Valdosta, where she met the love of her life, John R. Wiggins. They had two children, Bob and Kay.
She was a tireless, faithful servant of the Lord and truly walked the walk or (ran it). One of her greatest pleasures was serving and ministering (along with her beloved John) to the young couples and families in First Baptist Church and then Perimeter Road Baptist Church. They were an inspiration to many.
Aside from serving the Lord, her family was her greatest joy. A wonderful wife, caring mother and a beloved Mimi to seven grandchildren and 12 grandchildren. She leaves a beautiful legacy.
She was predeceased in death by her parents, her husband, John R. Wiggins, her brother and sister-in-law, Hugh and Mary Ann Norton, and brother and sister-in-law, Frank and Margaret Norton.
