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.
