Brenda Bishop
 Brenda
Gay Bishop passed from this life into the arms of her heavenly Father
Friday July 9th 2010. Brenda was born July 8, 1946 in San
Angelo Texas. She moved from San Angelo in 7th grade to
Odessa, Texas, where she attended Bowie Jr. High and then graduated from
OHS in 1964. She attended Odessa College until Brenda’s love for music
led her to Los Angeles CA with the Dan Blocker singers, where they got
to be on the Ed Sullivan show. Determined to finish college, Brenda
moved to Lubbock, Texas and graduated from Texas Tech University with
her Bachelors degree in education. She taught in elementary schools
around the Lubbock area for numerous years. She substituted at various
schools in Lubbock after her health prevented her from teaching
fulltime.
Brenda had a sense
of humor that was contagious to all who knew her and was able to laugh
at herself as well as make other people laugh with her. She will be
greatly missed by all those who know and love her.
She is survived by
her husband, Phillip Bishop of Lubbock, Texas; son, Jason Belcher of New
York, NY; stepdaughter, Jana Woods of County Line Lubbock; stepson,
Kevin Bishop of Louisiana; parents, Forrest & Rose McCleery of Odessa,
Texas; brother, Steve McCleery and wife Lynda of Hobbs NM; sister, Tina
Nelms and husband Steve of Odessa and numerous nieces and nephews.
Services will be
Thursday July 15, in Lubbock, at Sunset Church of Christ at 10:00 a.m.
with Bruce Thornton and Steve McCleery officiating. Burial will be at
the City of Lubbock Cemetery. Arrangements are by Sanders Funeral Home
of Lubbock.
Memorials can be
made to Sunset Mission Fund or the Children’s Home of Lubbock.
The family would
like to thank all the people at Sunset Church of Christ for all their
love and care the last few years that Brenda was sick, due to her many
surgeries. You truly are a “light” in this world.
