Mrs. Alice Clementine Atchison Wiggins was born in Bay Minette, Alabama on September 28, 1950, to the union of David Atchison and Roxanne Gandy Atchison.

Mrs. Wiggins devoted her life to Christ and united with Greater Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church where she was a deaconess, served on the nurses guild and an usher. Alice was a graduate of Alabama School for the Blind and continued her education at E. H. Gentry Technical Facility. Alice worked for 21 years at Alabama Industries for the Deaf and Blind before her retirement in 2017. She was an active member of the National Federation of the Blind which helped foster her love for travel as well as motivate her to encourage her niece, Tocha, to take her on trips. Alice also loved reading her Bible when she had free time. Love found Alice and she entered into holy matrimony with Willie A. Dates. They celebrated over 40 years of love until his passing. Love once again found Alice and in 2013 she married Antonio A. Wiggins and they would have been celebrating their 8th anniversary later this month.
