Ephraim ‘Sig’ Siggers

Ephraim O.C. “Sig” Siggers, a longtime resident of Institute, died March 12, 2012, at Hospice Care after a long battle with cancer.

A very loving man, he was born May 15, 1937, in Montgomery, the son of the late Annie and Ephraim Siggers. He also was preceded in death by a brother, Reuben Siggers.

He attended Washington High School in London, and at an early age could accomplish anything he set his mind to. One thing in life that he loved was music. As a teenager, he and his brother, Reuben, decided to start a band called the Kool Kats.

Sig continued to keep music at the forefront of his life, passing the gift on to his children. He was later drafted into the United States Army, where he served his country well. During his time in the military, Ephraim became a member of the military band, where he had the opportunity to travel to many countries, including Germany.

After serving his country, Sig continued his walk in life, as many people do, and became an active work force member. He contributed 18 years to True Temper before spending the remainder of his working years at Union Carbide, as a coal operator, where he retired from in 1988.

Although life seems too short to many, those who were touched by Sig understand that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time.

His heart was filled with love, joy, faith and happiness until the last seconds of his life.

Sig had lifelong ties to many friends and family throughout West Virginia. He especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren.

Surviving: his daughters, Maria Antionette (Kevin) Wright, Angela Michelle (Donald) Cunningham and Luella Michelle Lopez; his grandchildren, Curtis Siggers, Joseph Siggers Myles, Aquila Cunningham, Donald Cunningham Jr., Alfred Lopez and Steven Lopez; his sister, Paulette Siggers Brown; four great-grandchildren; two nieces; and a host of relatives and wonderful friends.
