In Loving Memory Of: Elizabeth Bishop was born on November 29, 1948 to the late Lola and Walter Williams in Detroit, Michigan. She was preceded in death by her mother and father, her three brothers, Benny, Walter Jr., and Robert, her aunt “Lil”, Elizabeth Coleman, her close friend Ella Moore, and her favorite cousin-(”sister”-best friend), Annette Kirkpatrick. Elizabeth attended and graduated from Northwestern High School in Detroit. Years later her first dearest son, Demetrius Arthur Williams was born. She was a great mother and raised “Dee” well with the help of her dad, Walter. As time went by, she had her first, precious daughter, Miyone Patrese Williams Price. Elizabeth worked at the Fleetwood plant where she met and eventually married John Ashford. They remained close friends. Elizabeth was remarried to Wilbert Bishop, and remained married for over 20 years. She worked for Hospice, became a caregiver, and took good care of her patients for many years. “Liz”, as she was affectionately known, was loving and loyal to her children, family, and friends. In her earlier days, she enjoyed many family parties and celebrations at the home of her dad, Walter, and her brother Benny. Later in life, she was dedicated to being connected to and the glue for all of her family, by extending her love, keeping in touch, and helping whenever needed. Liz spoke her mind and she was extremely proud of both of her children, Demetrius and Miyone. She loved the lord and prayed for her children daily. Liz was a hard worker and worked well past her 70th birthday, caring for others. She loved to eat, and enjoyed spending time with her family, friends, and especially her grandchildren-including little Kaylin.
