RAE I. RUSH Peacefully on Saturday, January 22, 2005 three days before her 82nd birthday, and surrounded by family, Rae passed away at Deer Lodge Centre. She was predeceased by her husband, Mervyn in 1971; and her grandson Sean in 1974. Rae leaves to mourn, her daughters, Lea (David) Little, Becky (Dave) Henry, Bonnie (Pierre) Glawson; and son Bud. She is also survived by eight grandchildren, Chris (Nathalie), Greg (Helen), Tracy (Simon), Sheri (Dave), Charlene, Donn, Paul (Myrna), Keith; and three great-grandchildren, Lauren, Alexa and Brooke. Rae is also survived by her sisters Beryl Boyd of Rainy River and Dorothy Spalding of Miniota. Rae was born and raised in Gladstone but spent most of her adult life in Winnipeg. Although family was the centre of her life, Rae had a particular love of music and possessed a lovely singing voice. She was a music teacher for a number of years as well as a choir leader. The family finds comfort in knowing that she is at rest and at peace with our Dad. We wish to thank the staff of six west Deer Lodge Centre for their kindness and understanding. In accordance with Mother's wishes, cremation has taken place and a private memorial service held with interment at Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, 1160-675 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9.

I'm a volunteer at the Deer Lodge Centre and visited Rae every Thursday after work. I looked forward to the visits and our conversations about everything from classical music, experiences from her youth, to her large family. She talked about her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren with lots of love and pride. I'll miss her very much. - Posted by: Alison Crawford (Acquaintance) on: Jan 29, 2005

Lea, we were very sorry to read about the passing of your Mom. I remember her always with a smile on her face and a warm welcome to your home. You were blessed with a great Mom. I'm sure your wonderful memories will make the difficult times ahead just a little easier to face. We are living far from home in the Okanagan but are thinking of you and your family. Take care. - Posted by: Lorne Lisik (Friend) on: Jan 29, 2005
