Duane Leroy Rush, 79, of Carmichaels, peacefully entered his Lord’s presence Wednesday, December 30, 2020.

Duane was born in Carmichaels August 17, 1941, to the late Fred L. and Mary E. Moore Rush. He was a loving and devoted husband, father and brother. He was married to his beloved Elizabeth Crow Rush of Nemacolin for 57 years. They were blessed with three children, Christine Rush Marsilio (Mike), Suzan Lee Rush and Duane “Skip” Rush (Carla). His family includes six grandchildren and one great-granddaughter, all of whom he loved and adored.

Duane served his country from 1959 to 1962 in the U.S. Navy with deployment aboard the USS Little Rock. After his military service, he moved to northern Virginia where he and Elizabeth built their home and raised their children. Duane worked faithfully at George Washington University for over 30 years and then Howard University. Duane settled back into Carmichaels to enjoy his retirement. He enjoyed spending time with family, telling stories and running around the hills of Pa. with his brother Norman.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Mary; as well as his brothers, George (Joann) and Robert (Martha).

Above all, Duane passionately loved God and serving Him however called. He would want each of you to find a joyful relationship with Jesus as Savior.
