Overbrook - The beautiful sunrise the morning of May 10, 2022, carried the spirit of Walter Lee Bigham, Sr. into his heavenly home. Walter was born in Dallas, Texas on May 16, 1932, to Ruby (Sells) and Jack Roy Bigham and was welcomed home by an older brother, Gilbert Bigham.

Walter married his high school sweetheart, Marjorie Alice Swallow, on May 18, 1952. The following years blessed them with four children, Sharon (Bob) Shows, Deb (Dennis) Smith, John Bigham and Walt (Kathy) Bigham, Jr. Life continued, and grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren filled their lives.

He loved the outdoors and would often be seen with a hunting rifle or fishing pole in his truck. Those were high spots of retirement for him since he could share those times with his family and friends.

Walter was welcomed into heaven's gates by his mother and father, his stepfather, Clifford Schendel, his brother, Gilbert Bigham and two great-grandsons, Dylan Smith and Kasen Smith.

Funeral services for Walter will be held at 2:00pm on Monday, May 16 at the Feltner Funeral Chapel in Lyndon. The family will receive friends from 1:30pm to service time. Burial will be in the Vassar Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Friends of Pomona State Park (to support the kids fishing derby at Pomona State Park) sent in care of Feltner Funeral Home, 818 Topeka Avenue, Lyndon, KS. 66451.
