Nancy Weatherston Bishop Johnson passed away peacefully on October 1, 2026, at her home in Tyler, Texas, at the age of 93.

Nancy was born on September 28, 1933, in Jefferson, Ohio, to George and Anna (Nance) Weatherston. She grew up in Jefferson, where she was involved in numerous clubs and activities during her high school years. In 1955, she graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor of Science in Education. She married her first love, Donald J. Bishop, on June 11, 1955, and they eventually settled in Texas. Don passed away suddenly in 1972. Several years later, she married Kay Terry (KT) Johnson, and they spent many years traveling the country, although their roots were always in Texas.

Nancy taught school for many years and delighted in sharing her love of music with others. Above all, her greatest love and passion was being a wife and mother. Her family was her heart, and in her later years, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought her tremendous joy.

As her eyesight began to fail, Nancy was especially grateful for the technology that allowed her to continue listening to her favorite preachers online. Her desire to seek after God remained an important and enduring part of her life.

Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, George and Anna; her brother, Tom; her sister, Peggy; her stepdaughter, Kathy; and her husbands, Donald Bishop and Kay Terry Johnson.

She is survived by her loving children, Marty (Marcy), Margaret (Forrest), Karin (Kent), and Cindy (Larry); numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; many nieces, great-nieces, nephews, and great-nephews; and the many people who were blessed to know her as a bonus mom.

The family extends its heartfelt gratitude to Hospice of East Texas for the tender care, compassion, and love they provided to Nancy and her family.

A memorial service celebrating Nancy’s life will be held on October 31, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Calvary Chapel in Tyler, Texas.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Hospice of East Texas in Tyler, Texas.

Nancy will be remembered for her loving heart, gentle spirit, devotion to her family, and enduring faith. Her life was a blessing to many, and her love will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
