Elizabeth Ann Bigler

Elizabeth Ann Bigler Born January 27th, 1925 and passed away on January 29th, 2026. Elizabeth Ann Bigler was born in Drew, Mississippi to Elbin and Myra Blackwood and was the eighth of nine children. She grew up in the Mississippi Delta and started working at a young age. She moved to Texas in 1953 with her young family and began working at Houston Lighting and Power (HL&P). She retired from HL&P after 34 years. Ann enjoyed traveling and went on many trips with her family and her second husband Clyde Bigler where she enjoyed the sights across our country either RVing, cruising, or memorable road trips. Ann was a strong, fierce and loyal person that showed grace and adoration to those she loved. She especially loved her family and was always bragging about her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. She also displayed a deep Christian faith and trust in Jesus as her Savior. She was faithful to attending church through the years and sing-alongs and Bible Study into her last days. Ann was known by many names over her lifetime, Ann, Mamaw Ann, Grandma Ann, Aunt Ann, Ms. Ann among many other endearing names. One of those including the Queen as she had a resemblance to Queen Elizabeth and was known for having her hair and nails done and always dressed for the occasion. Ann was preceded in death by her parents Elbin and Myra Blackwood, sisters, Marie Simpson, Louise Blaine, Dorothy McWhorter, Daisy Lollar, Mary Carmen Crawford, and brothers Frank Blackwood, Marion Blackwood and Fred Blackwood. She was also preceded in death by her first husband James W. Holland Sr. and her second husband Clyde Bigler and her daughter in law Marilyn Holland. She is survived by her son James W. Holland Jr., his son Ken Holland and his wife Nicole, their children Jake, Sharon, her fiance Brayden and Paige and their grandson Kadyn his daughter Amy Johnson, his daughter Karen Sieden and her husband Jeff, their children, son Tanner and his wife Phoebe, and daughter Taylor; her daughter Alliece Morris and her husband James, their son Ray Lindsey, their son Cory Lindsey and his children Derick, his wife Jackie and his grandson Eli and Christie, her husband Ryan and his grandson Rhys. Ann is also survived by many nieces and nephews from her eight brothers and sisters and their extended families as well as Clyde Bigler’s family that embraced Ann as their own. The family would like to especially thank Sundale Senior Retirement Community, both the caring staff and the many residents that became close friends to Ann over her 10 years there. She valued the relationships developed, the vibrant engagement through games, Bible Study, and fellowship with new and old friends alike. We would also like to thank the staff at Oak Ridge Baptist Church including Pastor Galen Cooper, Joe Suggs among many others and her Deacon Tommy Sammons and his wife Melody.
