Kathy Gail Bishop

Kathy Hale Bishop, our Aunt Kathy, passed away peacefully at home at the age of 73 years old in the late hours of Friday, December 23, 2022. She was born and raised in New Market, AL, and has lived in the surrounding area her entire life. Aunt Kathy was wonderfully devoted to her husband of 54 years, our Uncle Larry. She was a loving aunt to her nieces, nephews, great nephews, and numerous great great nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Hurley Anderson Hale and Nancy Myrtle Hale; two Sisters, Doris Heavy and Lois White.

Kathy is survived by her loving husband, Larry; brother, Kenneth Hale (Joyce); nieces, Dale Jones (Dee), Vickie Stephens, Janet Jobe (Jeff), Markeyta Tate (Mark); nephews, Ricky Hillis, Charles White (Janice), Patrick Hale (April); great nephews, Shannon White (Kristy), Joshua Tate (Hope), Grant Tate, Miles Tate (Hunter), Chase Tate (Amanda), and Hunter Tate (Cyndle); 14 great great nieces and nephews; special friends, Bobby and Peggy Dudley, Jimmy and Charlesie Emerson, and Danny and Connie Hubbard.

Pallbearers: Patrick Hale, Joshua Tate, Grant Tate, Miles Tate, Chase Tate, and Hunter Tate.

A special thanks to the family and friends who provided invaluable care and support for Aunt Kathy over the years, and especially over the last few months.

Aunt Kathy was a strong, proud and an amazing woman, but regal is the first word that comes to mind when thinking of how to describe her. This description is perfect, as she is now sitting and singing praises with the Almighty King because she trusted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. She is so, so loved and will be missed by many!
