I found several references to Jenelle Wiggins, including an obituary notice and newspaper articles she wrote for the Vernonia Freedom newspaper in Vernonia.

Here is the clearest obituary information I could locate:

• Full name: Jacqueline “Jenelle” Wiggins
• Born: October 2, 1950, in Santa Monica
• Died: January 1, 1998, at her home in Vernonia, Oregon, from cancer
• Age: 47
• Parents: Norman and Dorothy (Greenway) Wiggins
• Raised in Iowa and attended the University of Iowa
• Moved to Vernonia around 1975
• Married John Wysong in 1981; divorced in 1985
• Married Cory Colburn in 1990
• A wake was held January 3, 1998, at the family home; cremation followed  

I also found that she was active as:

• a local newspaper feature writer for the Vernonia Freedom during the late 1970s and 1980  
• a photographer connected with Oregon folk musicians and the Timberbound community  

One later obituary for her son, Charles Colburn, noted that he “lost his beloved mother to cancer at age 9,” referring to Jenelle Wiggins.
