Deanne L. Wigglesworth, age 58, passed away Wednesday, Feb. 15, at home in West Kennebunk. She was born May 23, 1964, in Natick, Massachusetts, to Charles (Ed) Sr. and Mary Ellen (Hayden) Wigglesworth. After graduating class president at Georges Valley High School in 1982, Deanne went into the food industry as a chef, pursuing her passion for cooking. Years later, after the birth of her son, she would find herself in the medical field – pursuing her passion for people as well.
Deanne, or “Dee Dee,” was known for her spirited and fun personality. She enjoyed music, art and film, as well as traveling to new and exciting places, crafting and cooking her own recipes, and spending time with close friends and family. She had a generous affection for animals, and welcomed numerous cat and dog rescues into her life over the years.
Deanne is survived by her son, Miles Wigglesworth, her father, Charles Wigglesworth Sr., her nephew and niece, Thomas and Alissa Wigglesworth, and many loving friends and family members. She is predeceased by her mother, Mary Ellen, and her brother, Charles Wigglesworth Jr.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
