Edna has always been a storyteller. She had a fantastic memory of her whole life and enjoyed sharing her life with others. Anyone who has had the pleasure of hearing her stories and memories couldn't help being absorbed into the life she loved. Edna, effortlessly, claimed the hearts of everyone who knew her. She loved helping others and did so by, lovingly, fostering children, volunteering herself to the community and assisting people in their everyday activities. In her early days you may have known her as "The Kansas Lady" from the CB Radio Club. She loved entertaining and keeping folks company on the radio. In her later years, you could always find her calling bingo Thursday nights at the Senior Center while spending time with her friends. Edna also loved to crochet. She made anything from potholders to blankets and takes with her a talent that will surely be missed. Edna is survived by many children, grand children, great grand children and great great grand children as well as sisters, nieces, and nephews. She has now been reunited with her beloved husband of 44 years, Kenneth Bishop Sr., her brothers, a sister and her parents. Edna was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt.
