She was born in Grant, Nebraska on May 23, 1951, to Jerry and JoAnn (Berry) O'Conner. Cindy spent her earliest years in Elsie, Nebraska. After the early death of her mother, Jerry, remarried Lucy Vasa who became Mom to Cindy, who was the oldest of five girls.

Cindy graduated from Ogallala High School in 1969. She then sported a time work at Cramore Children Ranch. Cindy grew up around horses, as her Dad had a business of providing contract rodeo stock. Her favorite horse was a retired pick-up horse named Bob. She spent many happy hours riding out on the prairie. She was also a barrel racer. Her love of animals continued throughout her life. She raised horses, dogs, cats, and even a few hogs.

Cindy married Tim Post in January of 1970 at Bridgeport, Nebraska. They lived together on a farm northeast of Bridgeport. To this union, two boys were born: George Daniel (Dan) and Gerald Lance (Lance). She enjoyed spending her time raising large gardens, canning, and making banana and zucchini bread. She was remembered for her cowboy beans, chili, and cinnamon rolls. She liked being outside, working on the farm, and being a pioneer type of woman.

Cindy then moved to Wilsey, Kansas, where she raised her two boys, while working as a grocery store manager for over twelve years. During this time, she served on the city council and on the school board. She also was active in the school activities of the boys, usually contributing cookies to the occasion and she would fill in as a cook, if the one of the regular cooks were unable to come in to work.

Cindy worked hard, throughout her life, until a long term illness eroded her strength. Her personal motto was, "get to work and then work hard," whenever the problems of life came along.

In 1994, she and Dan moved back to Bridgeport, where they along with Tim survived a tornado which could be seen right across the road.

She enjoyed all things cowboy all of her life: music (Conway Twitty), western clothing, boots, TV shows, rodeo events, and books. She was an avid follower of political events. In her later years, she could be found spending afternoons watching the Senate hearings and other politically related shows.

She was preceded in death by Tim Post, infant grandson Timothy Post, her father Jerry, her mother JoAnn, and step-mother Lucy.

Cindy is survived by her children Dan Post of Bridgeport, Lance (Jennifer) Post of Tennessee, her grandchildren Angela Post of Scottsbluff, NE, Kelly Sharp (Jeran) of Kansas and Vivian Post of Tennessee and three grandchildren Jase, Lilly, and Annaleigh; her sisters Karen (Jim) Francecangel of Texas, Debby O’Connor of Bridgeport, NE, Micki (Dick) McConnell-Ross of Colorado, Jeri (Robert) Coffman of Oklahoma, along with numerous nieces and nephews

Larry W. Davis passed away on February 26th, 2022 following a long battle with medical complications. A celebration of life service will be held on April 1, 2022 at the Alliance Berean Church at 2:00pm.

Larry was born in Sacramento, California on February 16, 1956, to Barbera Fay Ferguson and adopted by Gilbert L Davis. He was raised in an Air Force family and grew up in many locations including Germany, Alliance, NE., Colorado Springs, CO., Chandler, AZ., and Anchorage, AK. He met his lifetime love Gwen (Pokey) Jenkins in high school in Alaska. They both went to college in San Dimas, CA. where they were married one year later. Both graduated from Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College in 1978. They were blessed with their only child Lydia Winter Davis on August 15th, 1979, in Alliance, NE.

Larry was a God gifted artist, whose natural talent was evident as a child. He had limited instruction, but great abilities encouraged by his parents. Even though he would have preferred working solely in the creative/artist field, he had various employment positions as a UPS driver, and grocery warehouseman besides graphic artist. The family relocated to southern California in August 1983 where they faithfully attended and served in the Lighthouse Baptist Church in LaVerne, CA. the entire 33 years of living in California. Larry was the Sunday School Superintendent for the last 20 years, as well as the only staff artist for the ministry. He worked as an inhouse artist in various print shops as well as a contracted graphic artist under his personal businesses, Davis Productions and later Davis Designs. Much of his work he considered his ministry, and he often didn’t charge for artwork as he considered it service to the Lord. He had a special love for mission work and personally travelled four trips to the Philippines.

With his health failing due to cancer and NASH cirrhosis they returned to Alliance, NE in 2016 to be near family. Upon returning to the Alliance Berean Church, they were blessed to find some of their earlier life friends were still where they considered home. He spent his last two years fighting the disease and working towards getting a liver transplant. He spent his final three months at the Presbyterian St Luke’s Hospital in Denver CO. Sadly the liver transplant was not meant to be, Larry remained faithful to the end trusting God’s will.

He is survived by his wife Gwen “Pokey” Davis of Alliance, NE. father Gilbert L. Davis and wife Linda Davis of Alliance, NE; Sister, Ginger Davis-Consford and husband Earnest “Buster” of San Augustine, TX; Brother Preston Davis and wife Trudy of Jefferson City, MO; brother Wayne Davis and wife Tracy of Alliance, NE. Several nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by mother, Barbera Davis, daughter, Lydia Davis-Wise and son-in-law, Jeff Wise.

Memorial services for Jeannie Bignell will be Friday, April 8, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. at the United Methodist Church. Pastor Gideon Achi will officiate and burial will be in the Nebraska Veterans Cemetery.

May every sunrise hold more promise. May every sunset hold more peace. 2-22-22 has taken on a new meaning for Jeannine's family, as she chose this special date to leave our crazy world.

Jeannine Mardele Coder Bignell was born to Blanche and Ralph Coder on December 12,1928 in Brunswick, Nebraska at her Aunt Gertrude Weaver's home. The family later moved to Alliance where she attended Central School and graduated from Alliance High in 1947. During this time, her parents divorced with Ralph moving to California. Her mother married Henry Neafus who Jeannine loved dearly. Jeannine worked for several years with the telephone company as an operator and information clerk.

On September 17, 1950 she was united in marriage to Ed Bignell. They were blessed with two daughters, Jill and Julie. Jeannine was active with ranch life and never turned down a chance to ride her horse and help move cattle.&nbsp; Jeannine was an avid reader and never missed watching Jeopardy at night. Perry Mason and Murder She Wrote provided countless hours of entertainment. She enjoyed doing ceramics and took tole painting classes. Her work was beautiful, she definitely had an eye for color.

In later years, Ed and Jeannine loved wintering in New Braunfels, Texas where they gathered &nbsp;new friends and good times. Wonderful memories were made. When they were unable to return to Texas, embroidery became a favorite hobby and she took great pleasure sharing her tea towels with others. Search a Word puzzle books kept her busy and challenged.

Jeannine is survived by her daughters, Jill and Bruce Blume of Alliance and Julie Bignell of Wylie, Texas. Grandchildren, Brent and Linda Blume, Omaha, NE, Shannon and Jeff Aughe,&nbsp;Chandler, AZ, Erin Blume, Baltimore, MD, Courtney Blume, Denver CO, and Stephanie Bignell, Wylie, TX.&nbsp;Great grandchildren are Payton Blume, Kansas City, MO, Avril Blume and their mother Lori Blume, Omaha NE, Mason and Brady Aughe, Chandler AZ and Addelyn Bignell, Wylie TX. She is also survived by her cousins, Sharan Cook and Sandra Bush of Bismarck, ND and numerous nieces and nephews.

Jeannine was preceded in death by her husband Ed, her parents Ralph Coder, Blanche Neafus and Henry Neafus and her beloved cousins, Elaine and George Sallquist.

Memorials are designated to Carnegie Art Center; United Methodist Women; East Point Horspice and Highland Park Memory Support Unit.

Memorial Services will be held in a few weeks. Date is pending.&nbsp; Online condolences may be left at www.batesgould.com.

She was surrounded and held by much love.Leila was born April 26, 1940 to Mervil and Mildred (Stiller) Reece, in Scottsbluff, Nebraska at the home of home of Fern Townsend’s parents. Born 3 months premature, she arrived weighing 2.2 pounds and was in the hospital 3 months before she was able to go home. This was just the beginning of her remarkable strength, tenacity, determined spirit, and zest for living.Leila grew up on a ranch southwest of Crawford, Nebraska, with her parents and older brother, Dwain. She attended a one-room schoolhouse through 8th grade, and graduated high school after completing a 4-year correspondence course through the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Following high school, she worked as a medical secretary for a doctor in Grand Island, Nebraska. Here she developed many strong and lasting friendships.In the fall of 1969, Leila first met Ralph Merwin in a Sunday morning meeting in North Platte, Nebraska. Their relationship blossomed and they were joined in marriage March 8, 1971. They lived in North Platte for a while until moving to Paxton and working on a ranch there. While living in Paxton, their daughter, Lanae, was born on November 5, 1976. In 1981, they moved to Valentine, Nebraska where they lived for 7 years.

From 1992 to 2016, she worked in various capacities with the Alliance Times-Herald newspaper.A hallmark of Leila was her whole-hearted loyalty and faithfulness. Whatever commitment Leila made and to whomever she made it,&nbsp; she made it with her whole heart and spirit and stayed the course. She chose to follow Jesus on November 8,&nbsp; 1951, and remained steadfastly true to her convictions and vows all the way, living a life of love and service.Leila’s life is a remarkable witness of enduring love, tenacious strength, deep courage, fierce grace, and unyielding loyalty. Her devotion to caring for others and her unwavering dedication to her husband were unparalleled. In her quietly powerful way, she made an indelible and profound difference in this world and touched many hearts.Leila had a joy for life, a smile that lit up her whole face, and a bursting laugh that filled the space around her. She loved the outdoors and being active, cooking for others and always making sure we had enough to eat, conversations with friends, and music.&nbsp; She loved children and delighted in her grandchildren.She was a light in the world, a light to her family, friends, and to those who knew her in whatever capacity. Her light will continue to shine, and her spirit, her love, and her prayers will remain with us.She is survived by her loving husband of 51 years, Ralph; her brother Dwain “Dewey” Reece, of Sac City, Iowa; children, Lanae Hall of Hastings, Nebraska, and Larry Merwin (Natalie), of Gering, Nebraska; grandchildren, Adair, Baylen, Shiloh (Corle’), and Mikol (Delys) (Lanae), and Ethan and Charlotte (Larry); nieces Mona Reece (Texas) and Kristine (Mark) Delaney (Park Rapids, Minnesota) , and nephew Trevor Reece (Lake City, Iowa); and numerous in-laws, cousins, and great-nieces and nephews including Jordan (Trevor) and Jenny (Kristine).Preceding her in death were her parents, Mervil (1981) and Mildred (1997), as well as aunts and uncles.May her memory be a blessing.Funeral services will be Friday, March 25, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. at the Bates-Gould Chapel.&nbsp; Burial will be in the Alliance Cemetery.&nbsp; Visitation will be one prior to service time on Friday.Online condolences may be left at www.batesgould.com
