Family, friends and neighbors are mourning the four Iowans who lost their lives in the tornado that destroyed much of this Adair County town on Tuesday.
Iowa state officials had not identified the victims as of Thursday afternoon. But family said two victims were septuagenarians Pam and Dean Wiggins, who lived north of the hospital, directly in the EF4 tornado's path.
Close family, friends and colleagues say Dean Wiggins, 78, and his wife, Pam, 77, were a wonderful couple, dedicated to serving their beloved community of Greenfield. The couple's eldest son, Todd, confirmed with the Register that his parents were among the victims killed.
Todd said his parents were the "epitome of 'Greenfield Strong.'" And had they survived, he says, he knows they would be helping others affected by the tornado.
