Patricia T. Bishop, 85
FELTON - Patricia T. Bishop passed away Sunday, December 6, 2020 at Harbor Healthcare in Lewes. She was the daughter of the late, Philip and Maria Thawley.
Patricia worked many jobs including, secretary at Felton High School, local IGA grocery store, and retiring as a cafeteria worker at the Caesar Rodney School. She was a member of the Felton Methodist Church, Frederica Senior Center, Felton Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary, and the "Happy Hour Gang" a division of the Delaware Family Campers Association.
When Patricia wasn't volunteering, she loved to do puzzles, knitting, and doing crafts with her camping group. She was a perfectionist who could still do short hand skillfully at her age.
