Annie Lou Maxwell Quigg

Ann Maxwell Quigg, 95, of Thomasville, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, July 30, 2026. 

Ann lived a long, grace-filled life defined by devotion—to God, to her family, and to the countless people whose lives she quietly touched. Ann was born June 30, 1931, in Havana, Florida to parents, Zerom Monroe Maxwell and Lena Hammett Maxwell. Ann married her beloved husband, Earl A. Quigg, on April 30, 1953, and she precedes him in death. Earl and Ann celebrated 73 years of marriage this year. They built a life rooted in faith, hard work, shared devotion, and mutual respect. Their marriage of 73 years is a testament to love, partnership, and perseverance. Together Ann and Earl raised four children, instilling in them the values of faith, compassion, and hard work. Ann’s greatest joy was her family, and she cherished every moment she spent with her four children, five grandchildren, eight great‑grandchildren, five great-great grandchildren, and other extended family members. They will all remember her for her strong faith, unconditional love, gentle humor, and unwavering support, as well as her ability to make each person feel uniquely cherished. In addition, they will remember her special talent for the absolute best home-cooked meals! A woman of steadfast faith, Ann was an active member of North Side Baptist Church. Ann’s faith was not only spoken—it was lived. She was known for her quiet acts of kindness, prayer with anyone who asked, and faithful prayer for those she knew were in need. Her home was always a place of welcome, where visitors were met with warmth and a listening ear. She believed deeply that service was a form of worship, and she carried that belief into every corner of her life. 

Survivors include her husband, Earl A. Quigg of Thomasville; Children: Pat Quigg Gapen (Nick) of Thomasville, Kenneth Earl Quigg (Jean) of Woodstock, Ray Quigg (Cindy) of Coolidge, and Faye Quigg of Thomasville; Grandchildren: Benjie Donovan (Laurie), Kendall Quigg Murchland (Ryan), Courtney Quigg Bennett (Brady), Stacie Quigg Clark (Lance), and Justin Quigg (Maranda); Great-grandchildren: Jake Donovan (Katie), Cole Donovan (Haley), Ryder Kenneth Murchland, Declan Diedrich Bennett, Caleb Yawn, Kaylie Yawn, Lexi Kate Quigg, and Charles Quigg; Great-great grandchildren: Michael Donovan, Lottie Donovan, Ellie Reese Donovan, Parker Donovan, and Joan Donovan; and Ann’s Brother, Wayne Maxwell. 

In addition to Monroe and Lena Maxwell, Ann was preceded in death by her siblings Clyde Maxwell, Gene Maxwell, Julian Maxwell, Zerom M. Maxwell, Jr., Carolyn Thomas, Harold Maxwell, and Helen Cumbie.

Ann leaves behind a legacy of faith lived fully and love given freely. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her influence will continue in the lives of all who were blessed to know her.
