Edith Maria Hage Eigner, 92, passed away at her home in Woodbridge on October 16, 2019. She was born on Long Island, N.Y. on October 5, 1927, the only child of Henry and Elisabeth Hage. She married David Maxon Eigner at age 20, and they settled in Wallingford. After raising her four children, she became owner and operator of Wig Towne in North Haven, which she managed for 30+ years. She was predeceased by her husband of over 40 years in 1989. She leaves behind her four children; Elisabeth Rio, Julie Hultgren, Scott and Matthew Eigner, her 9 grandchildren; Chase, Maeve, and Conner Doolan, Christina Cote, Christian, Jacob, and Justin Eigner, and Andrew and James Eigner, and one great-grandchild, Anastasia Cote. The family would like to express their deep gratitude for the home health aides who so patiently cared for their mom over the years. 'Edee' will be remembered for her beauty, lively personality, and sense of humor. She faced everything with courage and spirit every day of her long and full life. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, November 30th at 11:30 a.m. in the First Church of Christ of Woodbridge, 5 Meetinghouse Lane, Woodbridge. In lieu of flowers, donations in Edee's memory may be made to the First Church of Christ of Woodbridge.
On behalf of the Bigliere and Gode family we would like to offer our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom, Edee. My mother, Carol worked for Edee for many years as a stylist and occasionally I worked for her during the Sidewalk Sale in the Summer at Wig Towne. And, although this time seems so long ago, we can look back and remember all the laughs we shared together. Count on our prayers. Our Lord is never outdone in mercy and love. May you find peace and comfort during this difficult time through the comfort of friends and family. God bless you. Barbara and family
