After serving our country in WWII, Mr. Rushing married Mozell Martin in Blue Ridge, TX, on August 2, 1945. In 1950, the couple moved to Copeville to the family dairy farm and raised three children. He was a loving and devoted caregiver to his wife throughout her 24 year battle with Alzheimer‘s Disease. Mrs. Rushing preceded him in death in 1997.

Mr. Rushing was a Primitive Baptist. He was a Godly, honest, hard-working, and patriotic husband, father, and grandfather. He always said, “You have to put God first in your life or nothing will work out like it is supposed to,” and “When you pray, you pray that it is God’s will.”
