Michele (Micki) Higgins

March 4, 1944 to March 4, 2019

Michele (Micki) Ann Condon Higgins, 65, of Moosic, passed away on March 2, at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville after a brief illness. She was the widow of the late Francis William Higgins, who died on Aug. 11, 2018. They celebrated 43 years of marriage on Aug. 2. Born on Nov. 15, 1953, she was the daughter of Ellen Conroy Condon and the late Eugene Condon. She was a member of Divine Mercy Parish, Scranton. Micki was a graduate of South Scranton Central Catholic High School and Empire Beauty School. For more than 20 years she worked in management for area Gap stores and spent her Fridays as a beautician for her few loyal clients that were more friends and family than customers. More than anything Micki enjoyed spending time with family and always looked forward to the time she spent with her siblings, nieces and nephews. One of her greatest joys was watching her grandsons play sports and she never missed a game. She was an avid Philadelphia Phillies and Notre Dame fan. Micki was a talented seamstress that always made prize winning Halloween costumes for her children and had a knack for crafts and design that could make Better Homes & Garden envious. Micki was a great friend to many and always there for others when they needed help. Always on the go, she volunteered in every organization and booster club that her children were part of. She was a devoted Girl Scout leader, Eucharistic minister and religious education teacher. In recent years she was especially proud of the adopt a family program through the Catherine McAuley Center that her and her Gap family participated in every Christmas. In a final act of kindness Micki donated her corneas through the Gift of Life program.
