Wilma Maxine Thorp-Wigley, 92, of Sherman, Texas, passed away on October 28, 2023.

Maxine was born in Poteet, Texas, to Tom and Opal Thorp on January 4, 1931. She graduated from Center Point High School in Center Point, Texas. She was a youth advisor and social worker for most of her career at the Gainesville State School and Juvenile Alternatives (NTYC) and then a resident advisor at the Grayson County Homeless Shelter. She is preceded in death by her husband Lawrence J. Wigley, her parents Tom and Opal Thorp, her daughter Wanda Darlene Kitchens, her sister Wanda Robertis and husband Nick, and her nephews Nick Robertis and Tommy Robertis.

She loved going to her grandchildren’s sporting events and activities and she never forgot a birthday. She will be remembered as Granny by dozens of family friends and was the best dog mom to her puppies Ani and Griff.
