Stephanie Bishop

She attended Linn High School.

Stephaine worked for many years, as a devoted caregiver for the elderly, providing compassionate care, comfort and companionship. Her kindness, patience and selfless heart made a lasting difference in the lives of those she cared for. Her calling was to serve others, providing friendship and compassion to all those she encountered.

She took great pride in baking sweets, especially making families birthday cakes, she also made her signature biscuits, and her mom’s cheesecake. She enjoyed spending time with her dogs, being outdoors, watching the deer and hummingbirds, shooting her guns, having a green thumb with her Zinnias, and going kayaking. Her greatest enjoyment was being Nana to her granddaughters, and spending time with the rest of her family.
