The following Obituary was beautifully written by the family of Mrs. Wiggins:
In Loving Memory of Dewey Ann Speer Wiggins On November 10, 2026, Dewey Ann Speer Wiggins went home to be with the Lord. Ann was born on August 26, 1940 to her parents, Harry and Faye Wilson Speer, in Houston, Alabama. She entered into rest at her home in Addison, Alabama, surrounded by the family she loved so dearly. Ann was a hardworking woman who found joy in the simple things in life. She was known for making the best biscuits and fried chicken, sharing her beautiful alto voice, and faithfully serving as a devoted member of Addison First Baptist Church. Her faith was an important part of her life, and she carried that love into the way she cared for others. Above all, Ann was most proud of her family, who lovingly knew her as Granny Ann. On any given day, she could be found serving her family, making sure everyone was taken care of, or, at the very least, bragging on them to anyone who would listen. Her family was her greatest joy, and loving them was one of her greatest gifts. Ann was preceded in death by her high school sweetheart and beloved husband of 57 years, Welton Otto Wiggins; her daughter, Glida Wiggins Greene; her parents, Harry and Faye Speer; and her brothers, Wilson (Lucille) Speer and Waymon Speer. She leaves behind a loving family to cherish her memory, including her sons, Greg (Angie) Wiggins, Jeffery (Kristi) Wiggins, and Craig Wiggins. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Nathan (Yancey) Wiggins, Kyle (Lindsey) Carden, Casey (Katlin) Welborn, Jesse (Haley) Wiggins, Kayla (Jason) Coley, Jordan (Whitney) Wiggins, Haley (Kyle) Elliott, Jarret (Holly) Wiggins, and Holly (Caleb) Williamson. She also leaves behind 17 great-grandchildren. Granny Ann loved her family fiercely, and they knew without a doubt how proud she was of each and every one of them. She spent her life loving, serving, and taking care of those around her. Her family will forever cherish the memories, the stories, the meals shared around her table, and all the little things that made her Granny Ann. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Addison First Baptist Church Choir. Visitation will be Sunday, November 15, 2026 from 1:00 p.m. 3:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Addison, where the service will be held at 3:00 p.m. Burial will be at Hillcrest Cemetery. Brother Steton Hayes and Brother Kenny Sudduth will officiate. Memories and Condolences may be shared at Nicholsfuneralhomes.com
