Bignell, 91, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours on Tuesday, February 20, 2018 at Highland Park Care Center. Edward Joseph Bignell was born July 11, 1926 in Alliance to Joe Devol and Blanch Gwendolyn (Morris) Bignell, the 4th of six children. Growing up on the family ranch in Morrill County, he developed a love of horses that lasted a lifetime only to be rivaled by a yearly new pickup. Ed graduated from Alliance High School with the class of 1944 and served in WW II as a Radio Operator in the US Army. He met Jeannine Coder in Alliance and they married on September 17, 1950. They were blessed with two daughters, Jill and Julie. Life on the ranch was his dream and he loved every minute of it. Ed and his Mom loved the Calcutta’s and rodeos and were not adverse to a good bet once in a while. In their later years, Ed and Jeannine enjoyed wintering in New Braunfels, TX where he gathered a new group of friends and good times. Ed loved life and never met someone that he couldn’t talk and laugh with! His laughter was well known around town and had friends young and old. He was one of a kind and lived life to the fullest. He is survived by his wife, Jeannine; daughters, Jill and Bruce Blume of Alliance and Julie Bignell of Wylie, TX. Proud to call him Grandpa are Brent and Linda Blume, Omaha, NE, Shannon and Jeff Aughe, Chandler, AZ, Erin Blume, Baltimore, MD, Courtney Blume, Denver, CO, and Stephanie Bignell, Wylie, TX. Lucky great grandchildren are, Payton and Avril Blume and their mother Lori, Bennington, NE, Mason and Brady Aughe, Chandler, AZ and Addison and Brooklyn Bignell, Wylie, TX. He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and cousins and very special, lifelong friends, Doug Crouse and Jim Cody. Ed was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Joe and Blanch, his brother Bill Bignell and sisters, Jeanne Schmitt, Nancy Bennett, Alice Steinruck and Betty Jo Bignell. The family is now united again.
