Mary Frances (Hussey) Rushton, 70, Stellarton, passed away peacefully on April 11, 2009 surrounded by the love and comfort of her family at the Aberdeen Hospital, New Glasgow.
Born in Sydney, NS, May 26, 1938. Frances was a daughter of the late Norman and Florence (Burke) Hussey. Frances attended Holy Angels High School in Sydney and was a graduate of Teachers College in Truro in 1956. She taught school in Sydney and also in Halifax. On August 10, 1959 Frances married the love of her life, Darrell Rushton, and began to raise her family. They lived in Halifax for eleven years before moving to New Glasgow and later Stellarton. Frances volunteered as a Beaver Leader and for Meals on Wheels. She was an accomplished piano player and a talented artist. Frances’ greatest joy in her life was her family. Nothing pleased her more than spending time with her husband, their four children and their families. She always had pictures to show and stories to share about her nine grandchildren who she loved so very much. Over the years, Frances and Darrell enjoyed many trips together, including Australia, Hawaii, Europe, Alaska and several cruises. They travelled across Canada and the US in their motor home. They were members of the FMCA motor home association and enjoyed many weekend camping trips with them. In recent years Frances loved to go to their summer-home in Cape Breton. Frances was so happy at the cottage and she named it Birchaven. Frances will be fondly remembered for the deep love she had for her family. She was a kind and gentle spirit. In her quiet, caring and unassuming way, Frances was a blessing to her family. She was a member of St. George’s Anglican Church.
