family, Beth Bishop passed away March 11, 2006 at the age of 84. Beth was 
born October 11, 1921 in Lexington, Oklahoma. She was the sole survivor of 
eleven children born to Hattie and Alva Higbee. In November 1940 she 
married Clyde Bishop. They stayed in California for the remainder of their 
lives. She is preceded in death by her husband, Clyde and her daughter, 
Carol Lynn. As part of one of the greatest American generations, she knew 
first hand the hardships of the Depression, the uncertainty of war and the 
joy of family and friends. She loved gardening, canning her own fruits and 
vegetables, sewing, crocheting, and reading. Her favorite hobby though was 
spending time loving and laughing with her family and friends. Beth's 
blessings were many but she was most proud of her children and their 
families. She loved and valued each person who shared small or large parts 
in her life. Her presence and spirit which surrounded her family will be 
greatly missed but carried on through her tree of life. Beth is survived 
by her children, Clyde Edward Bishop, Danny Ray Bishop and his wife, 
Cecilia. Her grandchildren, Kathleen Diane Reed and her husband, Alan,

friend, Barbara Ann Bishop. The family would like to thank and acknowledge 
Danny and Cecilia Bishop for all the loving care and support they have 
provided Beth in the past few years. We would also like to thank and 
acknowledge the many doctors and nurses who cared for her recently.
