Lida Mae Susan Bishop (nee Kestel) passed away, Sunday, August 26, 2018 at the age of 81.
Lida was a very creative and talented person. She loved to sew and crochet. She was a beautician from 1955 until she returned to Scarlet Oaks in 1991 at the age of 55, to become a nurse. She worked in multiple nursing homes as a nurse for 7 years, taking care of many patients and doing their hair in the nursing home's beauty shop. She was the matriarch of our family. Lida was very involved in the Norwood Church of the Nazarene, and bible study. She was very assertive and had a sassy sense of humor.
