BISHOP, ALNORA PIERCE January 26, 1920 to July 13, 2012 Alnora Pierce Bishop passed peacefully at home as a result of pneumonia, with family members present. Born in Portland Oregon to Delos Charles Pierce and Jessie Ann Pierce, she graduated from Oregon State University with a Masters in Math and taught high school in Oregon until World War II. She served as an Ensign USNR in the Office of Naval Research where she met and married USN submarine officer Charles B. Bishop. Changing from naval to family duty, she helped raise Peter, Kathy, David, and Tom (together with a series of entertaining dogs). Alnora moved the family coast to coast, and returned to teaching once all the kids were in school. She received a Masters at Gallaudet College, taught the hearing impaired in D.C, L.A and San Diego, and was the consummate Navy wife - entertaining, volunteering for support groups and committees. Memorial Mass on July 24th, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Agnes Church in Point Loma.
