Alice's sister, Loa, posted this on facebook . . . .
"I received a call early this morning from my nephew letting me know that my sister, Alice Wiggs, had passed away in her sleep at 6:15 this morning. She had multiple health issues and had very recently gone through a lot of changes - being hospitalized and then going to a rehab center in Illinois. She was 77 and was a wonderful, funny, spunky person that I will miss a great deal. Mom and her are together now, with all the rest of the family.
