Lillian was educated in Chipman and during her late teens was introduced to Wilfred Wiggins through a mutual friend...fate was in store as the two were married on November 26, 1940.  They initially set up residence in

Waterborough and in 1941 Wilfred joined the Air Force and they moved to St. Thomas, Ontario. During the war years, they also resided in Mont-Joli and St-Jean, Quebec, until Wilfred was assigned overseas. Lillian then returned to New Brunswick and worked in a department store in Saint John, New Brunswick until Wilfred  returned from his duties during the war.

 They then built a home in Waterborough and welcomed their daughter, Linda, born August 30, 1947. In the early fifties, they built and operated the Lil-O-Wil restaurant located in Waterborough. During this time they vacationed in Florida through the winter months, often extending the Wiggins hospitality to family and friends.  They shared a love of flying, with both receiving their pilot licenses. Friends would arrive by plane for weekend visits, always to a warm and friendly greeting. Food was often the first priority.

Lillian was a chartered member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #60 and a lifelong member of the Waterborough Womens Institute.

Many times Lillian would be found in the kitchen taking the lead in the planning and preparation of various events. She was a faithful member of the Waterborough Baptist Church and served her community well.

She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She will be dearly missed by her family and many friends. 

Arrangements were entrusted to the care of Wallace Funeral Home, Sussex, from where visitation was held.
