Nina Wiglesworth Morgan

She leaves behind a large and loving family. Nina was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years Ernest Woodrow Wiglesworth, Sr., her eldest son, Ernest Woodrow Wiglesworth, Jr., and her late husband Elda Ray Morgan. A mother of 6, she also leaves behind: sons, Jim (Kathy), Keith (Nancy) and Lee Wiglesworth and daughters, Lynn Wiglesworth and Kathleen (Joe) Perdue: additionally she leaves 13 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and one great- great granddaughter.

Nina joined the US Marines during WWII serving for two years and met her soon-to-be husband Marine Gunnery Sgt. Wiglesworth during this time. Her love of Country and Service led to her eventually becoming one of the few females to hold the title of COMMANDER of her local American Legion Post. She sadly-proudly became a Gold Star mother in 1967 when her eldest son became a casualty victim of the Viet Nam war.

The family would like to thank Heartland Nursing Care of Greensboro and Hospice Care for their efforts and support during this time.

A graveside service at Forest Lawn will be held on Tuesday, March 5, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. where she will be laid to rest with military honors near her son and his father.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Hospice and Palliative Care of Greensboro, 2500 Summit Avenue Greensboro, NC 27405 in memory of Nina Wiglesworth Morgan.
