Sharon Margaret Wiggins, affectionately nicknamed "Peaches" in childhood, but called "Peachie" in prison, is the longest incarcerated female serving juvenile life without parole in the world. Born on February 15, 1951 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Sharon died on March 24, 2013 at the age of 62 in her Bethune Unit cell at the State Correctional Institution at Muncy in Pennsylvania. She was pronounced dead at 5:51pm and the cause is listed as, Ventricular Arrythmia, Coronary Heart Disease, Hyperlipidemia/Hycholesterolemia, Hpertension; Natural, by the Lycoming County Coroner. Peachie is buried at Gethsemane Cemetery in Detroit, Michigan. Sharon is survived by her mother Estella, sisters Angela and Nicole and brother Frank. She is predeceased by her father, brother Michael and sister Pandora. A memorial and tribute was held for her in Philadelphia, PA in June, 2013 that was hosted by The PA Coalition for The Fair Sentencing of Youth and organized by attorney Emily Keller of the Juvenile Law Center and Ellen Melchiondo, an Official Visitor with the PA Prison Society.

Sharon's crime was unusual, but it was her character, humanity and intelligence for which she is most notable in and outside of SCI Muncy.

Sharon, at the age of 17 and along with her two co-defendants Foster Tarver, age 17 and Samuel Barlow age 18 planned to rob the Dauphin Deposit Bank on December 4, 1968. Samuel was in the stolen get-away car; armed, Sharon and Foster entered the bank. Sharon was positioned at the front door hidden behind a tall plant while Foster went deeper into the bank. Mr. George Morelock entered the bank unaware that a robbery had commenced. Morelock wrestled with Sharon to stop the robbery and her gun went off twice. Foster ran over and shot Morelock again. Sharon and Foster fled the bank, got into the car and were quickly apprehended when Sam lost control of the car while the police fired into the car.

In 1969 Sharon, Foster and Sam were sentenced to death. In 1971 their sentences were commuted to life without the possibility of parole. Foster is confined at SCI Fayette, and Sam "Saleem" is confined at SCI Coal Township.

Sharon was confined in the Clinton Building while on death row. At that time in 1969, there were no women at Muncy serving a death sentence. The Clinton Building was the restricted housing unit, it is situated behind the main property on Muncy. SCI Muncy had no fence or wall securing the facility until 1985 as a result, many women walked away. Muncy had the highest rate of all PA state prisons for escapes prior to the wall and fence being erected. Sharon walked away twice during her first ten years of her life sentence. In 1973 while attending Williamsport Community College, she walked away. While on escape status for about 30 days, she turned herself in to authorities. In 1975 she walked away from the institution and was on escape status for three years.

In 1986, the sister of George Morelock forgave Sharon. Sharon applied for commutation 13 times; the last application was filed shortly before her death.

In 2015, The Sharon Peachie Wiggins Biographical Materials archive was established at Penn State University, in University Park, PA. Sharon received an Associates Degree from PSU and later was employed by PSU to be their administrator and student liaison for the Continuing Education program at SCI Muncy. The PA Department of Corrections agreed to this arrangement since Sharon agreed to pay for her "room and board" expenses from her salary while serving her life sentence. It is believed that she is the only prisoner in the US to be afforded this opportunity under those conditions.
