Ann D. Wigley

84, passed away in Portage, Michigan on January 19, 2017. Ann was born in Dundee, Scotland to Alexandrina Ferguson and Richard Ferguson. She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, John and George; her husband, Alfred Wigley; and also their infant daughter, Sandra. Ann is survived by her daughter, Carol (William) Martin; her son, Richard (Rujun) Wigley; and her grandson, Jonathan Martin. Ann and Alfred immigrated to the USA from Scotland, first settling in Detroit, and then later in Jackson, Michigan. Ann took great pride in her Scottish heritage, but also viewed the day when she received American citizenship as one of the highlights of her life. Ann retired from her position in sales at Sears in Jackson where she made many good friends, not only her fellow employees, but also among the many customers who came to visit her in the hardware department. Ann loved to travel, primarily to Britain to visit her family, but also on Caribbean cruises and even once to visit China and take a walk along the Great Wall. Ann had great love in her heart for others, especially for infants and small children for whom she kept a seemingly endless supply of toys at the ready. Ann will be dearly missed by her family and friends. Special thanks to the staff at Bickford Senior Living of Portage for their kindness and for the care given Ann. A celebration of Ann’s life will be held on February 10, 2017 at 2 pm at the funeral home with visitation from 1:00 pm until time of service.
