Doris Joanne Goldberg Wiggins “Ema” passed away Friday, October 21, 2022 in Savannah, Georgia. Doris was born in Savannah on November 16, 1929. She was a Savannah High School graduate and longtime resident. She was preceded in death by her husband, Stacy Benjamin Wiggins, her son, Richard Stacy Wiggins, her sister Christine Goldberg Shuman (Jimmy), and her parents, Louis James and Agnes Hansen Goldberg.

Ema, Christopher, Tyler and I are so grateful for the years we had being loved and prayed for by you. How lucky we are. You have been telling me of the beauty of Heaven my whole life and it just got a little prettier when you stepped through the gates. Thank you for being the most amazing grandmother and great-grandmother.
