Lucille Bishop

Mable Lucille Bishop was born in her grandmother s house in Wheatland, Missouri on December 23, 1913 to Asa Tinsley and Edna (Pitts) Tinsley, the eldest of four children. She departed this life on November 15, 2013 in the home of her loving niece and faithful caregiver, Sue Jenkins, just 38 days short of her 100th birthday. Her great niece, Rachel Tinsley, who survives, was often at her side in Lucille s difficult last days. Lucille married Roy Bishop on August 18, 1934 just as he had completed high school, and they moved to a farm four miles southeast of Humansville, MO where she lived until August of last year. She and Roy owned a business in Humansville for a number of years. Mrs. Bishop was a loving caregiver, attending to Roy s needs as well as the farm during his struggle with ALS and caring for her elderly mother in her latter years. Roy passed away on December 4, 1983, 11 months before their 50th wedding anniversary. Lucille enjoyed family gatherings, having her nieces and nephews overnight in her home, gardening, playing canasta, meetings of the Stitch n Chatter Club, and attending the stock car races in Humansville. She had such a love for children and an incredible soft spot in her heart for animals. Lucille had a calm spirit, was very hospitable, and she rarely spoke negatively of anyone. Mrs. Bishop was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Roy; her three siblings, Eugene Tinsley, Mary Odith Duncan, and Joe Tinsley; and a nephew, Donnie Duncan. She is survived by niece Sue Jenkins, her husband Larry and family; niece Cathy DuBose, her husband Joe and family; niece Vonna Jones, her husband Mike and families; niece Jean Nelson, her husband John and family; nephew John Tinsley, his wife Karen and families; Alvin Tinsley and wife Ida and family; and beloved sister-in-law, Irene Tinsley.
