Douglas Wiggins

May 2, 1964 - May 1, 2021

Douglas Wiggins, of Blackwood, NJ, passed away May 1, 2021 at the age of 56 years. Treasured son of the late Walter Wiggins and the late Janice Wiggins (nee Walters). Devoted husband of Karen Wiggins (nee Zipeto). Beloved stepfather of Michael Symington and Jaime Ingram (Kyle). Proud grandfather of Christopher Madgey, Jr., Dylan Ingram, Zoey Ingram, Evan Symington, and Madison Symington. Dear brother of Michael Wiggins (Terri), the late Steven Wiggins (the late Eileen), and Judith Nejman (Bernie). Doug is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, and their families. Doug worked for many years in coding and plating for the Philadelphia Mint. He was a hard-worker and an excellent provider who made sure his family and those he loved never went without. Doug was an avid gardener and was known for having “the best lawn in Blackwood”. He carefully and meticulously cultivated his backyard oasis, making it his favorite place to be. He could often be found by his pool, taking in the beautiful scenery of his creation. Like a true South Jersey man, he was a devout Philadelphia Sports fan, particularly the Flyers, and a fan of Tastykakes. Doug had a sense of humor that often led to his loved ones groaning over the latest “dad joke”. He was a genuinely good and kind person who will be deeply missed by all of those who had the genuine pleasure of knowing him. Urn visitation will be Saturday, May 8, 2021 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at Earle Funeral Home, 122 W. Church Street, Blackwood, NJ 08012, where a service of remembrance will begin at 11:30 AM.
