Paula J Rust

Dr. Rust was born June 12, 1981 to Parker and Janice Kendrick in Kansas. Paula was always a motivated and driven individual. Her drive for success began at age 8 months when she began to walk and continued through her life. Her childhood brought many accomplishments in multiple sports and clubs to include FFA. She learned a good work ethic by helping on her childhood farm and kept that strong work ethic throughout her life. A most prized accomplishment was graduating with a Doctorate. After graduating she made her home in Montgomery, AL. Dr. Rust quickly became an established, compassionate, trusted Physician in the community. Dr. Rust had a heart and love for women’s health, health education and the community. Her huge personality and love was evident in so many ways with the community and her love of God was evident in her worship at Saint James Church where she was a member.

Paula’s huge caring personality will leave an everlasting impact on the community. Treasuring her love, care, and hugs the most will be her family.
