Kristin Bishop Obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kristin Elizabeth Bishop, a beloved daughter and mother, who found her eternal rest on October 25th. Her contagious smile, heart full of kindness, and infectious laughter brought joy to those around her in her cherished community of Ocean View.

Kristin was preceded in death by her father Robert Bishop and survived by loving mother, Sue Bishop, brother John Bishop, and beloved children, Marcus and Vivien, who were the center of her world. She also leaves behind her cherished partner, Russell Lachenmyer.

A memorial service will be conducted at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 2nd at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Norfolk with a remembrance gathering to follow at the restaurant at The Ocean View Fishing Pier. We invite everyone to bring a shell, a stone, or a memory to cast off the pier, a symbol of the eternal connection between her and the beach she cherished.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk as this was a special place she enjoyed with her children.

Kristin was taken too soon but will be remembered by all she touched and who loved her.

I have only meant you a couple of times, but your smile was beautiful. You would always come into the Demo with your mom and it was always a pleasure seeing you again. God called home another angel

Kristin, I never thought I'd be writing this message, however what gives me peace is knowing you're in heaven and you would tell me right now "I'm so good P!" That, and as much as you love nature, you're probably walking around heaven just so happy and intrigued taking in all of its beauty and colors. Words will never be able to express how much I miss you sis! I pray for your mom, Marcus, and Russell, and ask in Jesus name that His Holy Spirit bless them with His peace. I love ya sis!

How strange time is. I remember telling you when we parted ways on Saturday before you left us that I would see you on Thursday. That did not happen and you will be missed as you had become and will always be a member of our Pack. I am grateful for the time I did know you, we laughed a lot (thanks Russell for making us laugh) and we shook our heads a lot. Regretfully, our friendship was cut short and you moved on, I am sad you are gone. Rest peacefully my friend, we will take care of things here.

My family and I have only known Kristin for a short time but her contagious smile would like up a room when she walked in. She was so very kind hearted and sweet. She will definitely be loved and missed by all.
