Edna Rush - A Celebration of 95 Years of Life

May 12, 2008

Edna Rush, a member of the Indianapolis UCG congregation, experienced what she described as “the surprise of my life” when she was greeted by 27 family members, friends and members from the Fort Wayne and Indianapolis congregations in a surprise celebration of 95 years of life May 3.  Edna was taken to the Mitchell Fish Market in Carmel (Indiana) for what she thought was her traditional pre-service Sabbath brunch.  There she was surprised by family members from California, Nevada, Illinois and Indiana, who had gathered to honor and celebrate her 95 years of life.
 
Before moving back to rejoin friends at the Indianapolis congregation of the United Church of God, Edna and her late husband, Ted Rush, were long-time members of the Auditorium A.M. congregation in Pasadena, California.

Edna pauses with the many flower arrangements, roses and cards that she received from family, friends and church members all over the United States.
