Herbert Bigelow Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A proud veteran, Bert honorably served our country as a member of the United States Marine Corps. He was a parishioner at Holy Family Catholic Church, and a member of The Golf Club at South River and the American Legion. He enjoyed boating, golfing, and landscaping.
Above all, he enjoyed spending time with his family. Bert described his wife Carolyn as his "very best friend". He considered her his confidant, golf partner, travel companion, and advisor. They truly enjoyed their years together. He was very proud of the beautiful young lady his daughter Stacie became. He felt that Stacie always knew she could count on him for whatever she needed. His grandchildren, Madison and Dalton were the light of his life. They were his pride and joy. He often bragged about their accomplishments and was so very proud of them.
Bert is survived by his beloved wife of 50 years, Carolyn Bigelow; his daughter, Stacie Fiore of Edgewater, MD; his siblings, Thomas (Yolanda) Bigelow of Mountain Grove, MO, Ann (Bob) White of Iowa Falls, IA, and Bea Strope of Appleton, WI; and his beloved grandchildren, Dalton Cain of Clearwater, FL and Madison Cain of Chicago, IL. Additionally, he is survived by a loving extended family in Maryland and Iowa.
Friends and family are invited to celebrate Bert's life on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 from 2 to 5 pm at The Golf Club at South River, 3451 Solomons Island Road, Edgewater, MD 21037. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to an animal shelter of your choice.
