Gladys Bishop Vehorn, 99, of Charleston, SC, went to be with the Lord on January 10, 2018. Affectionately known by family and close friends as "Mema", she passed away 100 days shy of 100 years of age. Mrs Vehorn was preceded in death by her husband, Leon W Vehorn (2009) and her son, Daniel L Vehorn (1976). She was the daughter of Edgar Ezra Bishop and Exie Mamie Lawrence Bishop. Mrs Vehorn and her twin sister, Joyce, were born in Simpsonville, SC, April 20, 1918 and spent most of her life in Upstate SC. Her life journey included years of wintering in south Florida and a few years in retirement communities in Florence and Charleston, SC.
Mrs Vehorn was a devout Christian throughout her life, serving the Lord and others in both domestic and foreign mission fields. Her most active years of service were given in Concord Baptist Church in Anderson, SC, where her five children grew to adulthood. She was a faithful wife for 70 years and a devoted mother. Her specialties were cooking, sewing, gardening, and hospitality. No one could fry fresh caught flounder better, grow bigger blueberries, or create a more comfortable gathering.
She is survived by four children, Henry Vehorn (Evelyn) of Tuscaloosa, Al, Gloria Nelson (Avery) of Charleston, SC, Ronnie Vehorn (Janet) of Columbia SC, and Martha Vehorn (Don Boomer) of Charleston, SC. She was "Mema" to seven grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren. Her only remaining sibling from six brothers and two sisters is Howard Bishop (Mildred) of Oklahoma City, Ok.
The friends and family are an unnumbered collection of those who will join her family in celebrating her long life and grieving the loss of her touch.
Visitation will be 1:00-1:45 PM Saturday, January 13, 2018, at Floyd’s Greenlawn Chapel, 2075 E Main St, Spartanburg, SC 29307 with funeral services following at 2:00 PM, conducted by The Rev Bob Marcaurelle. Interment will follow the service in Roselawn Memorial Gardens, 1451 Compton Bridge Rd, Inman, SC 29349.
