Ruth Wiggins was a woman whose love ran deep—through her family, her faith, and even her favorite soap opera. A lifelong Baptist, Ruth reared her children with unshakable love and unwavering faith. She was a strong, devoted mother whose values live on in each generation she nurtured. To her grandchildren, she was "Mimaw"—the kind of grandmother who made you feel like the most important person in the room. And to her great-grandchildren, she became "MiMi"—a title just as sweet and cherished. Her home was a haven of hugs, warmth, and laughter. Ruth had a flair for life’s simple joys. She loved a cold Michelob Ultra and a bean burrito from the local Mexican restaurant, and she never missed an episode of The Young and the Restless. In fact, she watched it so religiously that her grandchildren found themselves just as hooked as she was. She was always dressed to the nines—elegant, graceful, and timeless. Whether she was heading to T.J. Maxx or just relaxing at home, Ruth carried herself with dignity and style. Her legacy is one of deep love, joyful traditions, and enduring faith. Ruth Wiggins leaves behind a family who adored her, traditions that will be lovingly carried on, and a spirit that will never be forgotten. Mrs. Wiggins is survived by; her two daughters, Pat Henderson of Southaven and Sherry (Jimmy) Holland of Olive Branch, MS; her three sons Dennis Wiggins of Southaven, Jeff (Lisa) Wiggins of Murfreesboro, TN, and Tim Wiggins of Southaven; her beloved nine grandchildren; her precious six great grandchildren; and her sister, Diane Mansel of Walls, MS . Mrs. Wiggins was preceded in death by her loving husband of 65 years, Clifton “C.T.” Wiggins; her son, Ricky Wiggins of Coldwater, MS; and her parents Curtis Weaver and Ivie Dell Oakes.
