Bishop, Lena
Lena Bishop 1923 - 2008 Visitation will be on Friday, December 26 from 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at Hillcrest Mortuary with a chapel service also on Friday at 1:00 p.m. Interment will follow. Lena Bishop was born in Spencerville, Oklahoma on April 4, 1923. She left us to go be with the Lord on December 20, 2008. She was preceded in death by her husbands, Charles Knight and Edward Bishop and her son, Denny Knight. "Mimi" as she was affectionately called will be greatly missed by her family and many friends. You were never a stranger at Lena's house. The Lord blessed her life and all the lives she touched. Her hospitality and words of wisdom were shared with all who came to her home. She was a true confidant. She loved the Lord and taught all of us to love the Lord as well. Mother was very proud of her Choctaw Heritage and made sure everyone knew it. She loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She supported and attended every event any of us participated in. You could always see her in the crowd with her red outfits. There was no better cheerleader. She was an excellent seamstress, knitter, crocheter, cook, teacher and friend. Mom was always funny and witty. Good times or bad, she was always comforting, gracious and generous. Proverbs 31 speaks of a "wife of noble character", our mother practiced what she preached and truly was a woman of noble character. Left to cherish her memory are Donna Newman and her children, Scott and Tina McWhorter, and Robbie McWhorter, Jenee and Matt McCaleb; MyLena King and her children, Rance and Missy Grigsby, Laine and Dustin Douglas, Rena and Bradley Marton, and MyKayla King; MyLissa and Darren Isaacs and their children, Hailey and Ricky Ishida and Paige Isaacs and Robert Garza; Denny Knight's children, Jenna, Kali, and Ben Knight; great- grandchildren, Simone and Soleil McCaleb, Andrew and Tinley McWhorter, Jordan Foster, Hayden and Danielle Grigsby; 2 great-grandchildren on the way, Logan Edward Ishida and Grayce Elizabeth Douglas.
