Some people call them angels, some people call them heroes, we call her our Wife, our Mother, our Grandma. Through her true honest nature, strong religious beliefs and solid family structure, she helped us build the discipline to make the right decisions, taught us to believe in ourselves, be acceptance to our own truth and lead us to only expect the best at everything that we set out to accomplish. She is a person who challenged you and inspired you, brought the family together, made everyone feel like they were part of the family and changed our lives forever. We shared many laughs, many tears, amazing home cooked meals and lots of love. She is a mother who could take the place of all others, but who's place no one could ever take. She was the solid foundation to our family, taught us strong values and always stood by our sides no matter what life happened to throw our way. There are many stars in the sky, but they will never shine as bright as her SMILE!

Mrs. Giddens is survived by her husband, Carl Giddens of Kingsland, Ga.; her daughter, Brenda (Jeff) Blackstock of Kingsland, Ga.; her sons, Mike Giddens & Mark Giddens, both of Kingsland, Ga., and Matt Giddens, of Nc.; her sister, Peggy “Peg” Lynn of Oceanway, Fl.; her brothers, Edward Higginbotham of Jacksonville, Fl. and Tom Higginbotham of Eufaula, Al.; her grandchildren, Tabatha (Chris) Brazell, Joe (Kristy) Fisk, Maelah Giddens, Keith Giddens, Cameron (Stephanie) Giddens, Donnie Giddens, Garrett Brazell, Arrietty Giddens, Bryan Brazell, and Hailey Fisk.
