Patricia M. Rushford

Patricia Mary Rushford, 63 years of age, fought 17 years to be on this earth longer. The fight was a journey that was filled with endless love, support, complete joy all while surrounded by her small little family at home. The friends she called home and those who met her on their own paths. Bruce Rushford and Bridget Rushford called her many things but none as important as Wife and Mom. Her spirit is strong and a light against the darkest of nights, a cool breeze on a hot day. She went to God and though we cannot join her, and tears line our faces, we know Patty is not in pain. Not tired. She needs not to fight any longer. 

She leaves her nieces, Caitlyn Mullens, Colleen Cashman, nephew Ryan Cashman and great niece Chloe Cashman. Along with both a great nephew James and great niece Lily. Her sister in law Deborah Cashman. All wish her a peaceful journey into her eternal peace.

Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Friend, all of these are an honor to be for her.

Her love will be with us always.
