She was predeceased by her sister, Kathleen Hertzfeld; her brother, John Higgins; and her nephew, Stephen Higgins. Christened Bridget Mary Higgins, she became known as Mamie after her big brother John had trouble pronouncing her name. Now, for those of us fortunate enough to have known and loved her, the name Mamie will always be a source of joy as we remember her selfless heart, her boundless generosity, and the countless ways in which she enriched all our lives. She will be missed more than we can express in words. To send flowers or a memorial gift to the family of Mamie Higgins please visit our Sympathy Store.
