Carol Bishop had the most beautiful laugh; she would always light up the room with laughter. No matter what she always had a smile on her face! She was a homemaker and she dedicated her entire life to her family. Even in sickness and in pain she was a free spirited, kind hearted, and very loving woman. You could always look into her eyes and just feel the love! We will miss hearing her voice and spending time with her, but even gone she will never be forgotten. She is rejoicing with the Angels and watching over her children and great grandchildren from up above just like she did when she was here with us. She was not a stranger to anyone and was the sweetest little thing her nickname wasn’t tootsie roll for nothing! She was a beloved mother, wonderful grandmother, cherished friend, and will truly be missed.
