Charles Wiggins Obituary

Charles Mauldin Wiggins (68), resident of Cookeville, TN, and son of the late Dr. Casper and Virginia Wiggins, passed away Monday, November 10, 2025. Charlie was born January 8, 1957, in Greenwood, SC, attended Greenwood High School, and graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in marketing.

Charlie was a kind and generous spirit, he always had a ready smile and friendly word to share. He had a true gift for meeting people and related easily to everyone he met. He enjoyed playing golf, working on DIY projects and home repairs of all kinds, and always looked forward to spending time with friends and family. He especially loved spending time with family and friends at the Lake Junaluska family cottage in the NC mountains.

Much of Charlie's career was involved in medical equipment sales. In later years he worked as a property maintenance handyman and drove a school bus for the local school system. He loved both of these roles, and the kids called him "Mr. Charlie."

He is survived by his sisters Sarah Wiggins Speth (Ted) of Columbia, SC, Virginia Wiggins Woods (Mark) of Middlesboro, KY, a brother Casper Wiggins (Connie) of Mooresville, NC, and his former wife Carol Anderson Wiggins of Cookeville, TN. He is also survived by a multitude of cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends, all who loved him dearly.

In lieu of flowers memorials may be sent to Lake Junaluska Assembly, 759 North Lakeshore Drive, Lake Junaluska, NC 28745.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 16, 2025 at Greenwood Memorial Gardens, Greenwood, SC.
