A celebration of life service is at 11 a.m. Oct. 1 at Calvary Baptist Church, 1605 S. McCulloch Blvd. Maxine was born in Sault Saint Marie, Ontario, Canada on June 29, 1936. Maxine met the love of her life, Roland B. Bignell, at a church function; they were married in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, June 2, 1956. They were married for 60 years. Maxine and Roland moved to Upland, Calif. in 1981. In 1999, they moved to Lake Havasu City. Maxine worked in administrative management for IBM Canada; AC Nielsen, Canada; Lewis Homes, California; Select Insurance Services, Lake Havasu City. She enjoyed raising her three boys and oil painting. She was also actively involved in volunteering at San Antonio Hospital in California, Calvary Baptist Church and at Havasu Regional Medical Center. Maxine was a compassionate person with a servant’s heart. In her humility, she would not wear the badge, which she was honored to accept, recognizing her 10,500 volunteer hours at Havasu Regional Medical Center. Maxine loved her Lord and was looking forward to the promise “...absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 5:8) Maxine is survived by her husband Roland, her three sons Allan, Mark and Jonathan, six grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and other family and friends. The family is grateful to the doctors, nurses and staff for the professional and personal care Maxine received at Havasu Regional Medical Center. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to Calvary Baptist Church – Building Fund. Please send donations to 1605 S. McCulloch Blvd., Lake Havasu City, AZ 86406. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home. Thoughts and condolences can be sent to the Bignell family at www.lietz-frazefuneralhome.com. |
