Thelma Ruth Bishop
1955-2022
Thelma Ruth Bishop – 67, of Berwick, passed
away on June 18, 2022 in the Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville with
her family by her side. Born in Kentville, she was a daughter of the
late William and Blanche (Conrad)
Mapplebeck.
Thelma had a great sense of humor, infectious
laugh, larger-than-life personality, and was always the life of the
party. She worked in retail for many years, starting with Towers and
finishing with Kent Building Supplies where she worked for over 25
years as a forklift operator and at the Service Desk. She loved her
time at Kent, and often referred to her colleagues there as her second
family. She loved her family immensely and leaves them with fond
memories of her listening to music and dancing to her favorite
songs.
She is survived by her son, Scott (Joanne)
Bishop, Kentville; daughter, Triena Bishop, Centreville; beloved
grandchildren, Kira, Emily, Brayden, and Sophia; brother, Peter
(Shirley) Mapplebeck; sisters, Geneva Munroe, Black Rock; and Nellie
(Ed) Schofield, Black River Lake; several nieces and nephews; as well
as her best friend, Debbie (Ed) Murphy, Aldershot. In addition to her
parents, she was predeceased by her husband of 48 years, Michael
Bishop.
