Janie Riggins

Carolyn Jane "Janie" Riggins, age 62, passed away on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.

Janie was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose family meant the world to her. She especially adored her children and grandchildren and loved them more deeply than words could ever express. Janie had a feisty and bold personality and was never afraid to be herself. Those who knew her will remember the love she had for her family as well as the spirited personality that made her uniquely Janie.

She enjoyed cheering on Alabama football, watching NASCAR and especially Dale Earnhardt, playing bingo, and making trips to the casino. Janie also enjoyed creating diamond art paintings. She loved her dog, Roxy, who held a very special place in her heart.

Janie was preceded in death by her father, James Edward Riggins; her mother, Carolyn Faye Shaneyfelt; her brothers, Jimmy Lee Riggins and Paul Eugene Riggins; and her granddaughter, Layla Riggins.

She is survived by her son, Anthony Riggins and his wife, Stacy, and their children, Mikayla Riggins and Kloie Riggins; her daughter, Kim Mason and her husband, Ricky, and their children, Alex Mason, Autumn Mason, Marc Mason, Trey Mason, and Brayden Mason; her sisters, Angie O’Keefe, Charlotte Stafford, and Barbara Rodriguez; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and other family members whom she dearly loved.

Janie will be remembered for her love for her family, her strong spirit, and the many memories she leaves behind with those who knew and loved her.

The family will receive friends on Friday, October 16th from 5pm until 8pm at Hazel Green Funeral Home. Funeral services will be announced later for Saturday, October 17th. Burial will be in Gatlin Cemetery in Ardmore, Alabama.
