Deanna Piggott

Deanna Piggott, age 60, of Fowler, passed away Tuesday, June 16, 2009, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Mrs. Piggott was born April 10, 1949 in Lansing, Michigan, the daughter of Walter and Beulah (Bishop) Dick.

Mrs. Piggott was a devoted wife to her husband, Daniel, of 40 years. They were married on August 23,1968, in St. Johns and shared their lives together in Fowler. She cherished her family and was a loving mother to her four children and proud grandmother of 11 grandchildren.
