Adeline Wiggins, 90, of Vero Beach, passed away peacefully in her home on Aug. 7, 2015, in the comforting presence of her daughter, Lauri.
She is survived by her daughters Nancy Wiggins-Lester, of Atlanta, and Lauri Tagliaferro, of Vero Beach; her son-in-law, William Lester; and her granddaughters Amy Lester and Abby Lester.
She was predeceased by her husband of 46 years, Warren Wiggins, and a young son, Thomas Wiggins.
Wiggins loved her dogs, Hannah, Sophie, and especially “Puppy,” who predeceased her by just a few weeks. She was talented at sewing and gardening, and made many of her children’s clothes when they were young.
Born Adeline Grace Tafuri, she worked in her youth as a bank bookkeeper, and when her children were in school, as a special education classroom volunteer and a credit agency typist.
Her loving presence and wry sense of humor will be missed by all. A private memorial was held by the immediate family. Memorial donations may be made to the or to the H.A.L.O. Animal No-Kill Rescue Shelter of Sebastian.
