Deborah Bishop Obituary
Deborah Ann Bishop passed from this life July 23, 2025. She was born in Mississippi to Tom Boleware and Billie Sue McKinley. She is survived by an adoring husband and the love of her life for 46 years, Walter L. Bishop. She is also survived by her mother, Billie Sue Robinson of Pearl; three sons, Billy Bishop (Amanda) of Raymond, Herbert Bishop of Pearl, and Steve Bishop of Pearl; two sisters, Rebecca Sanders (James) of Pearl and Terri Lynn Coody (Tim) of Butler, AL; a sister in law, Willie Faye Patterson of Pearl; and three grandchildren, Peyton, Nick, and Skye Bishop all of Raymond, as well as many nieces and nephews.
To know her was to love her, and truly everyone did. "Bitty Bit" was what most of her family and friends called her. She was small in statue but enormous in courage and spirit. She will be greatly missed and forever carried in the hearts of her family.
A visitation will be held at Chancellor Funeral Home in Byram, Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 1om until 3pm, with the funeral service beginning at 3pm. Following the service will be the interment at Terry City Cemetery in Terry.
