Frances Louise (Campbell) Bishop, 91 years old, passed from this life to her eternal home with Jesus Christ, on January 24, 2010, in Tulsa, OK. Frances was born on May 11, 1918, on a farm near Carrier, OK. to Elliott A. and Mabel (Thompson) Campbell. She attended school in Spring Valley, Goltry and graduated from Enid High School in 1936, going on to Enid Business College and then employed by George E. Failing Co.
She met her future husband, James R. Bishop, while he was stationed at Enid Air Force Base during World War II. They were married on January 14, 1944 in Elizabethtown, PA at the Evangelical United Brethern Church. After Jim’s discharge from the Army Air Corp, they returned to Enid to raise their two children.
