She is survived by her sister, Corine Wiginton of Samson; brother, Edgar Nixon of Hamilton; and numerous nieces and nephews.  She was the biggest Alabama fan there ever was.  Her fun and attentive spirit will dearly be missed by all of her family and friends alike.  She always had time for a chat to catch up on everyone’s life and learn how all her friends and their families were doing.
