Elizabeth

ALBANY – Elizabeth C. “Betty” Bishop, 87, died Wednesday, March 2, 2011, at St. Peter’s Hospital with her family by her side.  Betty was born in Cohoes on August 28, 1923 and grew up the beautiful and vibrant daughter of Edmund Connery and Josephine Betonia Connery.  Betty graduated from Keveny Academy in 1939. 

She met her husband Frank J. Bishop while the two worked for the New York State Department of Public Works.  They married in 1947 and moved to Albany and raised four children, who, along with her husband, were the loves of her life for the next six decades.

Betty is survived by her loving husband of 63 years, Frank J. Bishop; her children Frank J. Bishop, Jr. (Robin C.) and Peter E. Bishop (Judith Faith) both of Albany; Elizabeth Ann “Liz” of Saratoga Springs, and Paul G. Bishop (Diane) of Albany; her grandchildren Colleen Davignon (Russ), Audrey Bishop and Gregory Bishop; her great granddaughter Maya Rose Vasquez, her great friend and sister-in-law Eileen Bishop Loomis and by many nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her infant son Michael Francis Bishop and her only sister, June Dessingue.

Funeral services will be held in the Hans Funeral Home, 1088 Western Avenue, Albany, Monday morning at 10 o’clock, and from there to the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in the old Vincentian Institute, from which all four Bishop children graduated, on Ontario and Yates Streets, Albany at 11 o’clock. 

Relatives and friends are invited to call at the funeral home Sunday from 4-8 p.m.  Interment will be in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Troy.   To leave a message of condolence for the family, send a sympathy card, or obtain directions to the funeral home, please visit www.HansFuneralHome.com .

    Frank and Family,

    I’m sorry that I couldn’t make it to the service for your Mom. I just lost my mother-in-law on February 10th who lived with us for 16 years so I understand the sorrow you and your family are going through. You’re a good guy Frank and it’s been my pleasure to know you. Please express my deepest sympathy to the rest of your family on behalf of my wife and myself.

    Sincerely,
    Mike Kindlon

    My sympathy is extended to the family and friends at this time. God’s words assures us that we are not alone during this most difficut time: (Psalm 34:18) Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; And those who are crushed in spirit he saves.

    May you find some comfort and strength from the reading of God’s words in the Bible: John 11:25; Revelations 21:4,5.

    With sympathy,

    D.R. Miller

    Peter,
    You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Your mother was friendly and engaging. Whenever I called the house, she and I always had a nice chat. I will miss her terribly. She was a wonderful woman, a rare jewel in this world. She will be sorely missed. Peace and comfort to you. ~M
