Barnegat resident Donna L. Higgins, who was 58 years old, passed away at her residence on May 13, 2022. She was born in Elizabeth, reared in Toms River, and has spent the past 33 years living in Barnegat, New Jersey.
Over the course of twenty years, she has been a pre-school teacher in the New Jersey communities of Barnegat, Manahawkin, and Waretown. It was a profession that was a good fit for her honest and kind nature, as she cherished each and every child that she instructed as if they were her own children.
In spite of the fact that you had only spent a brief amount of time with Donna, she had the ability to leave an indelible mark on people. She leaves behind her devoted husband, Kenneth Higgins; two devoted children, Justin and his wife Ashley Paterson, and Kelli Higgins and her fiancé Keith Schairer; two cherished grandchildren, James David Patterson and Zachary Allen Patterson; her loving parents, David and Theresa Thompson; two devoted sisters, Dawn Westervelt and Tracy Giannone; and her loving brothers and sisters-in-law and other family members. She will be greatly missed by all of these people.

Murray and Elsie Anable were her parents, and she was their daughter. When she wed Leslie Higgins on May 11, 1952, the ceremony took place at the First United Methodist Church in Flat Rock, Michigan. Over the course of her career, Donna worked for the Down River Casting and State Savings Bank. Her devotion and enthusiasm, on the other hand, have been with the Flat Rock Garden Club for more than twenty years, where she has been one of the most dedicated den mothers. Donna’s role as a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother to her family took precedence over all other responsibilities in her life.
This was the most significant and satisfying job she had ever held. It was not only her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren that she was passionate about; she was also passionate about floral design and coming to the cottage in the north to ride dune buggies with her family. It was common knowledge among those who had the opportunity to know or interact with Donna that she was the most ardent and admired individual one could possibly come across.
