Bishop Jeanne Bishop died in her sleep at her daughter's Davis home on July 6, 2003. She was 73. The older of two children, she was born in Bay Shore, N.Y., to Stella and Myron Hafer. Following her education at Syracuse University, she worked in New York City. There, in 1952, she met Samuel Carter Bishop on a blind date. They married six months later, then began a series of moves that found them living in five states in seven years. Along the way, they had four children -- each born in a different state. In 1961 they moved to Hawaii, where they served as Methodist missionaries for seven years. A job change for her husband brought her to Marin County in 1972. Because of her frequent moves and her children, Jeanne's professional life was richly varied. It included teaching high school, writing historical documentation for a company importing antiquities from Israel and working as an administrative assistant at UC Davis. After her husband's death in 1979, she moved from the Bay Area to Winters, where she dedicated herself to her church and the community. She recently moved to Davis, where her daughter's family lives. Her family said she will be remembered for her wicked sense of humor, bright intellect, ready opinions on almost every subject, her deep spirituality, and her passion for reading, crossword puzzles and her dog Sophie. She enjoyed spending time with her grandsons, especially the teasing that took place when they were together. She was preceded in death by her son Clay, in 1996, and her husband Sam. She is survived by daughter Holly Bishop-Green and son-in-law Steve Green of Davis, their sons Sam and Jacob, son Andy Bishop and his sons Drew, Cody and Brett of San Rafael, daughter Patricia Bishop of Yachats, Ore., brother Myron Hafer Jr. and his wife Connie of Lakeland, Fla., and several nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held Friday at 11 a.m. at the Davis Funeral Chapel, 116 D St. (Obituary from the "The Davis Enterprise," July 9, 2003, (Yolo County, California).
