Grace Eleanora Bishop, daughter of the late Albert C. and Hattie E. (Kennard) Lewis of Churchville, Maryland was born July 1, 1935. She departed this life early morning on Saturday January 27, 2018.Grace sang with the United Choral Ensemble, served as Stewardess over 50 years and worked for the Harford County Public Schools until retirement. She enjoyed traveling with her husband, fishing, reading, and crossword puzzles. Grace loved gospel music, all types of trinket boxes, the cooking channel, house plants, roses and serving God’s people.After graduating High school, she started attending St. James A.M.E Church-Gravel Hill. In June 1959, she married the late Eugene Warren Bishop of Gravel Hill. From this union, they raised four sons David, Brian, Christopher and Warren.Grace is survived by her sons David, Brian (Traci), Christopher; grandchildren, Brian Jr., Neil Jr., Krystal and Kala; Warren Leath whom she raised; special granddaughter Toshuna Hanna and her three children; five sisters Alma Cromwell, Frances Fax, Shirley James, Anne Bishop and Irene Giles (Roger); brother Albert Lewis Jr. (Margaret); Aunt Corrina Kennard; sisters-in-law Geraldine Hague, Dorothy Hall, Arthurine Bishop, Martha Lewis, Sarah Bishop; brother-in-law Albert Bishop (Cookie); a host of nieces and nephews whom she made all feel special; and many other relatives and friends.She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; infant son Eugene Jr.; special granddaughter Tia Hanna; sister Catherine; brother Darlington Lewis and his wife Beatrice.God had blessed her with His Spirit, for Grace was true to her name. The word grace means divine favor, to be in favor with or that which bestows pleasure, delight, or causes favorable regard. Grace Bishop was God's beautiful person in that no matter whom you were or where you were, she lend a helping hand or words of encouragement. Grace Bishop was God’s shining light that gleam through the darkest of days, without a shimmer without great complaint. Grace encouraged others by word with her spirit of “The Lord will make a way somehow” and she was God's witness to that.
