HIGGINS, Jeffrey Noel, 61, of Vandalia, passed away Saturday, Nov. 6, 2021. He was born to Charles & Glenna Higgins on Dec. 26, 1959, in Dayton, Ohio. Jeffrey was a member of several Masonic Lodges and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was a loving and compassionate father, son, friend, and community member.

He was also an active participant and supporter in his daughter’s seasons of dance classes and performances throughout their childhoods. He even participated in several group dance performances with other fellow dance dads. In his last years of life, he lived with the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and passed from the progression of the disease.
