FINDLAY — Carole Ann Bishop, 79, of Findlay, died peacefully at home with her family on Sunday, Oct. 18, 2026.
Bishop was born in Fostoria in 1947, graduated from Fostoria High School in 1965 and earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Toledo in 1977. She married Mark Edward Bishop in 1993, and the couple shared 33 years together.
Her family remembered her as feisty, strong in her convictions and very funny, with a sharp sense of timing that kept them laughing to the end. She was an avid reader who loved traveling the world and spending time with family.
She is survived by her husband, Mark, of Findlay; three daughters; grandchildren; and great-grandchildren.
