Obituary of wife:

Marilyn Masterson Biggs, 88, passed away on Saturday, April 26, 2014.
Marilyn was born on Sept. 29, 1925, in Bluffton, Ind., the only child of Byrl and Dorothy Masterson. She graduated salutatorian of Bluffton High School in 1943 and attended Perdue University, where she graduated with high honors and was a member of Chi Omega Sorority.

After graduating, she worked in Indianapolis, where she met her husband, Thomas Kenneth Biggs Jr. They were married Aug. 6, 1950.

Marilyn enjoyed playing bridge and was a member of the newcomers club, but family was the center of her life. She was active in PTA, taught Sunday school and served as Girl Scout troop leader for each of her three girls. When her children were older, she went to work for Bank of America, where she worked for 15 years.

She loved hosting family gatherings at her house, especially to show off her grandchildren to her friends. In her retirement, Marilyn loved to keep her mind sharp by playing crossword puzzles and Sudoku. She also enjoyed volunteering at Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City and in the gift shop at North Bay Hospital after she and her husband, Tom moved to Fairfield in 1996.

Marilyn is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Nancy and Kirk Hughes of Riverbank, Susan and Earl Handa of Fairfield, and Lisa and Rick Drewrey of Escalon; grandchildren, Justin (Carolyn) Hughes, Katy (Marcel) Jackson, Scott (Sarah) Handa, Heather Handa, John (Kristina) Drewrey, Rick Drewrey and Thomas Drewrey; and great-grandchildren, Kenneth Handa, Daniel Handa, Tiffany Gimeno, Adrian Alfonso, Jonah Drewrey and Jaxon Drewrey.

She was the best mom and grammy ever and will be greatly missed.
