JOHN D. BERNHARDT
News Star World - February 10, 2013
Funeral services will be held on Monday, February 11, 2013, at 1:00 PM in La Chapelle de Martin & Castille in Lafayette, for John D. Bernhardt, age 60, who died on Friday, February 8, 2013 at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, after a lengthy and recurring battle with cancer. Reverend Michael Delcambre, Pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Cecilia, will conduct the funeral services.
A Graveside Service will be held later in the week at Old City Cemetery in Monroe, Louisiana.
John is survived by his daughter, Katie Bernhardt and was preceded in death by his parents, Diehlmann Courtney and Anne Rieves Bernhardt.
John graduated from Louisiana State University and later obtained a law degree from Loyola University. He worked in Lafayette as an attorney and was the owner and President of Empire Energy. He served on many boards and commissions over the years including LSU College of Humanities & Social Sciences Advisory Council; Former Chairman of the Louisiana Public Facilities Authority; Acadiana Center for the Arts; State Mineral Board; and Lafayette Parish Democratic Executive Committee.
John Bernhardt had four interests in life-LSU athletics, the game of golf, Louisiana politics, and the oil business, but only one love, his daughter Katie, to whom he was a wonderful dad. His quick wit, jovial laugh and compassionate heart will be missed and leave a void in the life of all who knew him.
He fought his battle with cancer just as he lived his life - with courage, dignity, and a sense of humor. He truly lived each moment of life to the fullest.
John will be missed by friends from all over the world. His love of golf ran deeper than the mere sport of it. Throughout his life, he traveled the globe, studying golf course design and architecture, building lasting friendships along the way. He was a member of Oakbourne Country Club in Lafayette, Louisiana, Champions Golf Club in Houston, The Olympic Club in San Francisco, the Monterey Peninsula Country Club in Pebble Beach, California and Mountain Lake in Lake Wales, Florida.
John would have loved a Mardi Gras week like this one. In healthier times, he would have rolled effortlessly from his duties as a Lieutenant in The Krewe of Mystic Louisianians in Washington, D.C. to his roll down St. Charles as a veteran member of Bacchus. The flambeau will be shining brightly this Sunday night in his memory for all who knew him.
The family requests that visitation be observed in Martin & Castille's DOWNTOWN Lafayette location on Monday, February 11, 2013 from 11:00 AM until the time of service.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to LSU TAF, P. O. Box 711, Baton Rouge, LA 70821, Attn: John Bernhardt Memorial Golf Fund.

DOROTHY HUDSON BIEDENHARN
News Star World - May 14, 2017
Funeral services for Doll Hudson Biedenharn will be held on Tuesday, May 16, 2017 at 11:00 AM, at Grace Episcopal Church, 405 Glenmar St. in Monroe, LA with Father Richard Norman and Father Mark Bleakley officiating. Visitation will be at 9:30 AM in Kilbourne Hall preceding the services. Interment will follow at Riverview Cemetery on South Grand Street under the direction of Mulhearn Funeral Home of Monroe.
Doll Biedenharn was born November 30, 1921, in Monroe, LA and passed away May 12, 2017, in Monroe. Doll was the former President of Hudson, Inc. She was a member of All Saints Anglican Church and a former parishioner of Grace Episcopal Church. She was a member of the National Society of Colonial Dames of America and a founding member of The Bridge Club, which formed in 1946 and continued weekly for over 65 years. Doll graduated from Neville High School at the age of 16 and attended Wellesley College (Class of 1942). Her education at Wellesley, together with her plan to become a neurosurgeon, was interrupted when she met Henry A. Biedenharn, Jr. at a rooftop dance at the Penn Hotel. She reportedly said, "That's the man I'm going to marry, I just have to figure out how to get him to ask me." She did and he did and on August 30, 1940, they were married. Henry was a flight instructor in the Navy and they traveled together to various station assignments, Doll bearing two children along the way. Two more children were born of their union after returning to Monroe.
Doll's first love was her family and she was involved in all aspects of raising and caring for her four children. She was Den Mother for the Cub and Boy Scout troops and was active in 7th grade Fun Club, a program providing kids wholesome entertainment to keep them out of trouble. Jody was required to take piano lessons and all children were required to take proper dance instruction. "Improper" dance instruction included her jitterbug lessons in the living room.
Her love extended to grandchildren and great grandchildren. Much to Henry's annoyance, she would host them once a week for fried chicken, swimming in the summer, and Cokes. What became known as "Grammy Day" was legendary fun and it created countless loving and lasting memories for all of the children. Murray was tasked with rescuing Henry from the weekly chaos.
Doll was Henry's life-long soul mate. They spent countless days hunting, fishing and traveling together. In their later years you would see them driving to Mexico after waterfowl season in search of a new bass lake. Their fishing adventures with long-time friends took them as far south as Guadalajara, Mexico, as far west as the Pacific coast of Mexico, as far east as the Florida everglades and mangroves, and as far north as Alaska. They were inseparable for 70 years and their children are the beneficiaries of their total love for each other.
Doll's parents, Edward Murray Hudson and Mary Faulk Hudson, her brother, Captain F.G. Hudson, III, and her husband, Henry A. Biedenharn, Jr., predeceased her.
She is survived by her children, Henry A. Biedenharn, III and wife, Kathy, Jody B. Johnston and husband, Bishop, Joseph A. Biedenharn, II and wife, Jamie, and F. Murray Biedenharn and wife, Kathy. Her grandchildren, Keith H. Beidenharn, Rebecca B. Cressy, Aron B. Coates, Elizabeth J. Guerriero, Doll J. Vines, Kathy J. Patrick, Jodi J. Lyle, James H. Biedenharn, Joseph A. Biedenharn, III, Jamie B. Widener, Frederick M. Biedenharn, Jr., Murray Hudson Biedenharn and step-grandson, Tony Pedigo, also survive her, as well as 20 great grandchildren, a step-great grandchild and great-great grandchild due in July.
Pallbearers will be Keith Biedenharn, James Biedenharn, Joe Biedenharn, Hudson Biedenharn, Keith Henry Biedenharn, Jr. and Alex Biedenharn.
The family would like to acknowledge Doll's long-time employee, Carolyn Buie. Carolyn's dedication to providing Mother with trusted care and friendship for 17 years is deeply appreciated by all of us. The grandchildren and great grandchildren would also like to add a special thank you to Carolyn for all of the Grammy Day fried chicken, rice and gravy, green beans, rolls, pie and the memories.
Special thanks to Dr. Greg Green and St. Joseph's Hospice for their caring treatment, counsel, and guidance.
Finally, a very, very special thank you to Mother's beloved granddaughter, Doll Vines. Doll provided Mother solace during Henry's decline and, just as she did with Henry, gave exceptional medical care and comfort to Mother. She was always there for both of them and the family was blessed to have her expertise and compassionate care during such times.
Any memorials may be made to the charity of your choice.

After her retirement she and our dad enjoyed weekends camping and fishing on Lake D'Arbonne with their circle of friends. Other interests included cooking, sewing and especially gardening. She enjoyed reading, especially Christian fiction, and read her Bible daily without fail. She loved the Lord and was active in her church singing in the Sr. Adults Choir until her health failed.

The family sends a special thank you to the staff at the Arbor/Terrace, La. Hospice and especially Lesley Bishop for their loving and compassionate care to our Mom. And a loving "thank you" to Ms. Maxine, her long-time friend, for making Mom's stay at The Arbor so much better because you were there.

JERRY W. BISHOP, JR.
News Star World - Apr 16, 2009
Funeral services for Mr. Jerry Walker Bishop, Jr., 77, of West Monroe, La. will be held at 10:00 AM, Monday April 27, 2009 in the chapel of Mulhearn Funeral Home in West Monroe, La. with Rev. Rick Crandall officiating. Interment will be at Zoar Methodist Church Cemetery near Chatham, La.
Mr. Bishop was born in Anniston, Alabama on October 21, 1931 and died at his residence in West Monroe, La, on April 24, 2009. He was preceded in death by his parents Jerry Walker Bishop and Mildred Smoot Bishop of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Jerry served his country in the United States Navy aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Palau. After his service he moved back to Tuscaloosa, where his family then lived, and attained his Bachelor of Science Degree in Business from the University of Alabama. He met Mary Virginia Threadgill and they were married on March 28, 1957. They lived happily for 52 years. He went to work for State Farm Insurance Company and moved to West Monroe in 1969. He attained the professional designation of CPCU and, at the time of his retirement after 38 years of service, was the underwriting superintendent of the State of Arkansas.
Jerry lived a simple life always content with staying in the background and never wanting the spotlight on himself. He went to bed early and was early to rise, working hard everyday. He always believed that if a man didn't teach his children to work hard, he had failed as a parent. Having come through the great depression, Jerry understood lean times and through those times he learned the value of hard work. He never expected anything to be given to him and taught his children those values. All who knew him would agree that Jerry possessed the calmest demeanor, very rarely was he ever angry. Until his last day on earth he was a loving husband, a devoted father, proud grandfather, and a good friend.
Survivors include; his wife of 52 years, Mrs. Mary Virginia Bishop, Sons, Wade Bishop and wife Kay, Andy Bishop all of West Monroe, La, and Mike Bishop of Atlanta, GA; Grandchildren, Ashley, Jason, Chris, Michael Patrick all of West Monroe, LA; Sister, Mrs. Mary Norma Morton and husband, Max; Brother-in-law, Bill Threadgill and wife, Kathleen and numerous nieces and nephews.
