She was preceded in death by her husband, J.R. Bias; one sister and a step-grandson.

Mrs. Bias was born July 1, 1932, in Lutie, to Hugh and Addie (Crawford) Ward. She worked for the Liberal schools for several years. She and her husband operated Bias TV Service until their retirement. After retirement they took up woodworking as their second hobby. She was also known for her beautiful crochet work. She was a people person and never met a stranger. In recent years she began a new career as a travel agent. Her own love for travel made the work easy and she enjoyed helping others plan their getaways.

Her great-grandchildren were the “apple of her eye”, especially her Izzy and Emma. She loved going to garage sales with Kody and watching Colton and Wyatt play baseball and she loved just being with Allee and husband Brian and Erica, Mark, Meggie and Laney.
