OBITUARY

William Frank Rushton

14 January, 1924 – 27 November, 2021
IN THE CARE OF

Assman's Funeral Chapel

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Bill Rushton, just shy of his 98th birthday. Dad passed away peacefully at home with family by his side.

Born January 14th, 1924 in Nakusp BC, he was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Remembered by son Bill (Kim), daughter Anne (Claude) and adored grandchildren Shea (Stephanie) and Kyla (Rayce). Also survived by sister Beth Carr-Hilton. Predeceased by his loving wife of 66 years Betty in August of 2020.

He always looked forward to Sunday breakfasts with the "crew" (Dave, Manfred and Suka) and family. Also the weekend "Union Meetings" at the farm with kids and grandkids and the daily morning coffee breaks at Timmies .

His favorite was spending time in the shop, where mom would get a break. He was a handyman and avid woodworker and could fix or build pretty much anything.

He had a huge desire to travel and had a special bond with many countries in Africa.

The family would like to thank Dave Lea, Ken/Deb Yorston and Bill/Nancy Lynch for always being true and loyal friends.
