Dr. Nancy C. Higgins of St. Louis, MO passed away peacefully in her home on July 15, 2023 from cancer.

She is survived by her sisters Diane (Bob) Frederick of Lexington, KY and Wendy (Fernando Vega) Higgins of Silver Spring, MD, as well as by her dear sister-in-law Pamela (the late Richard) Higgins of Loveland, CO. She was a loving aunt to Tessa, Joey, Ian, Jessica, and Duane.

May your memories give you peace and comfort of your loved one. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for the loss of your loved one. May GOD be with you all during this difficult time. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.
