It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Audrey Jean Wigginton (Bevan) on Friday, January 19, 2024 at the age of 81. Audrey was born and raised in Parkdale to Roy and Kay Bevan. In 1959, she met and later married the man of her dreams, Merrill Wigginton, and they shared 59 wonderful, happy years together. In 1974, she graduated with a degree in Sociology from the University of Prince Edward Island. Audrey was a caring and loving mother to Kevin Wigginton (Stephanie) and Karla Gimby (Andrew). She was her children’s biggest cheerleader and greatest supporter. She never missed a swim meet and was always quick with a study snack to feed their minds. Her greatest pride and ultimate joy, however, were her grandchildren - Lorne and Rachel Wigginton, and Katelyn and Cole Gimby. Audrey amazingly kept track of each and every test, sporting event, activity and travel. She never missed wishing good luck or safe travels as her four grandchildren went about setting the world on fire. Audrey is survived by her sister, Shirley Bevan, and brothers Hal Bevan (Janet), Roger Bevan (Susan) and Wayne Bevan (Geraldine) and many nieces and nephews. Audrey was active in her community and church and will be greatly missed by her neighbours and many friends. Resting at MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. Funeral service Friday at 11:00 a.m. from Park Royal United Church. Interment later in Floral Hills Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to the QEH Foundation or Park Royal United Church. Visiting hours Thursday from 3:00 – 6:00 p.m. Online condolences may be made at www.macleanfh.com
