My Grandma Rushton passed away on March 5, 2010. Grandma was very bubbly. She had many friends that loved her. I remember having huge Christmas parties at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Grandma was well known for her cooking. She could have a 5 course spread on the table with a moments notice. There was always little candies and treats for the kids. Grandma loved to be outside walking around the church. She knew it would keep her in good shape. Everyone was always surprised when they learned her age because she always looked and acted 10 years younger. Grandma, I know you have found joy and happiness with those that have passed on before you. You will be remembered.
