Pamela Anne (Jensen) Wiggins was born April 12, 1947, the daughter of Ralph and Hazel (Plymesser) Jensen in Greenfield. Pam tragically passed away Tuesday, May 21, 2024, as a result of the tornado that swept through Greenfield.
Pam grew up in Greenfield and graduated from Greenfield High School in 1965. While there, she was a first chair flutist for four years, sang in the choir and was a cheerleader.
On June 26, 1965, she was united in marriage to Dean Wiggins at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Greenfield. From this union, two sons were born, Todd Allen and Jeffrey Dean.
Pam worked at Senior Citizen Housing, an independent living facility for older adults for many years and retired from her role as director in 2013. Pam was immensely passionate about volunteering, was extremely involved in her community and was always willing to lend a helping hand where needed.
She was president of Greenfield Business Women, a leader of Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, a member of the Adair County Hospital Foundation Board and the treasurer of the Adair County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. She volunteered with Greenfield Fire Mates, Greenfield Chamber Main Street and in numerous capacities at Immanuel Lutheran Church and other organizations.
Pam was a proud cancer survivor and loved the Lord, her family, friends and community. She cherished spending time with her family and was especially happy when she would host celebrations and holiday gatherings at home. Pam relished time with her beloved friends for Girls Night Out (GNO) and birthday celebrations. She was also fond of tending to her flowers and game nights playing cards, Scrabble or Fast Track. She, like Dean, was an avid Iowa Hawkeyes fan and enjoyed watching and listening to the games.
Pam had a very special bond with her cousin, Janet. They grew up more as sisters than cousins and spent precious time together throughout their lives.
Pam is survived by her two sons: Todd (Nancy) Wiggins of Urbandale and Jeffrey (Tanja) Wiggins of Greenfield; five grandchildren: Thomas (Jena) Wiggins, Brittani (Danny) Dillon, Jacob Wiggins, Bailey Wiggins and Alex Wiggins; seven great-grandchildren: Mason, Micayla, Declyn and Ender Wiggins and Isabella, Isaac and Mileena Dillon; sisters-in-law, Judy and Linda Jensen, Diane (Bob) Edwards and Nancy and Jane Wiggins; brother-in-law, Gary (Nonie) Wiggins; cherished cousin, Janet Jones; other relatives and dear friends.
Pam was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Hazel Jensen; parents-in-law, Earl and Edna Wiggins and Clyde Westphal; brothers, Dennis and Steven Jensen and brothers-in-law, Ron and Max Wiggins.
