Edna loved to bowl, play cards and went on several fishing adventures to Alaska with her husband and sweetheart, Dave. Always with a loving nurturing spirit, Edna cared for her family. When Edna lost her eldest son, Dave Allen, to cancer in 2004 she provided strength and guidance to her family even in the midst of a mother’s grief. When diagnosed with cancer herself in 22013 she never complained, maintaining a brave and cheerful outlook of an optimistic future even through countless chemotherapy treatments, X-rays, hospitalization and pain.
She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Dave Bush; brother, Dewey Moore; sons, Lance/Randy Bush and Dan Bush; daughter, Terri Bush; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
A eulogy will be held at her place of worship, Gaines Church, 1612 – 92nd St. SE, Caledonia, at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, followed by a celebration of her life at 11 a.m. the Bradford White UAW 1002 Hall, Middleville.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Mary’s Lacks Cancer Center.
