Edna F. Bush

Edna Faye Bush aged 84 of Caledonia, left this world to be with the Lord and her son, Dave Allen Bush on Wednesday, February 3, 2016 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born February 28, 1931 to John and Myrtle Moore in Wayland, MI. She is survived by her loving husband of 66 years, Dave “Bud” Bush; brother, Dewey Moore; sons, Lance “Randy” Bush and Dan Bush; daughter, Terri Bush; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  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 which was ever growing because any friend of the family became part of “her family”. Being part of her family meant she cared for and loved you in every possible way, including always having delicious home cooked meals and baked goods waiting for you every time you walked through her door.  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 2013 she never complained, maintaining a brave and cheerful outlook of an optimistic future even through countless chemotherapy treatments, X-rays, hospitalization and pain.  She continued with her life of love, family, faith and courage that was an inspiration to everyone.  A eulogy will be held at her place of worship, Gaines Church, 1612 - 92nd St. SE, Caledonia, MI on Saturday, February 20, 2016 at 11:00 am followed by a celebration of her life at the Bradford White UAW 1002 Hall, Middleville, MI at 1:00 pm.  At both locations, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Mary’s Lacks Cancer Center so that her spirit may help others in their courageous battle of this disease.
