Norman Wiggers

He is survived by his beloved wife, Karan Wiggers; his children, Sandy (and Brian) Clauser, Scott Wiggers, and Lynn (and Rodger) Pendl; his brothers, Jerome and Keith Wiggers; seven grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

After serving in the U.S. Army, Norm worked at Woolworth’s Company. He was a previous owner of St. John’s Business Machine and a previous owner of Express-Press, Inc. Norm and Karan also served faithfully at their home church, North Naples Baptist Church.

Norm was a wise, godly man who lived for his family. He adored his wife, Karan, with whom he shared 56 years of marriage. Together, they built a family that loved God, shared His Gospel and lived generously. Norm was truly the rock of his family. He “trusted in the Lord with all his heart and learned not on his own understanding. In all his ways, he acknowledged Him, and the Lord directed his path (Proverbs 3:5-6).”

Whether devoting his love to his wife, taking his children and grandchildren out for breakfasts, leading Sunday School or mentoring others, Norm lived a full, intentional life. He was a beloved husband, father, Papa, son, brother and friend God will say to him, “Well done my good and faithful servant (Matthew 25:23).”

Norm’s family looks forward to the day we will be reunited with him in Christ. “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15).”

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to Senior 1 Care.
