Viola E. (Pleuss) Rusch, age 96, of 2902 Madson Road, Manitowoc, passed away on Dec. 31, 2010, at Rivers Bend Health and Rehabilitation Center in Manitowoc.

a past member of the Ladies Aid and a 50-plus year member of the Manitowoc County Extension Homemakers. She enjoyed gardening, cooking and baking. In her later years, Viola enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
(Survivors omitted for privacy.)

Viola's family would especially like to thank (private), a special niece, who frequently visited Viola...whose treats, kind words and warm heart always brightened Viola's day. Appreciation would also like to be extended to the many relatives and friends who lovingly helped Viola with companionship and/or transportation after Nobert passed away.
The family would also like to thank the staff at River's Bend Health and Rehabilitation Center for ther compassionate care, courtesy and respect displayed toward Viola during her last two years with them.
