Anne Rust passed away peacefully at Hospice House, Kelowna, BC, at the age of 89, on February 23, 2022.  Beloved wife of the late Raymond Rust (d. 2011), Annie Jessie was born in South Junction, Manitoba, a small town just north of the US border, on October 30, 1932.  She was the fourth child of George and Florence (née Maunder) Lewis and was predeceased by siblings Violet Gertrude “Trudy”, Hazel, William “Bill” and Edward “Ted”.

Anne was the much loved mom of Alyce (Glenn) Boraas, Ron (Anna) Rust, Rhonda (Brian) Furtney, Linda (Ted) Duck, Andy (Arlene) Rust, Nancy McCargar, Madeleine Rust; grandmother of 20; and great-grandmother of 11.

Anne will be missed by her family and her many friends at The Village of Mill Creek and Willow Park Church.  Over the years, she spent many happy hours volunteering at the Bibles for Missions Thrift Store and the BC Cancer Centre-Kelowna.  Anne had a zest for life and loved being with her friends.  She enjoyed puzzles of all types, calling bingo at Mill Creek, playing crib with her friends, music, reading any book she could get her hands on, and writing poetry.

Many thanks to Drs Steinruck and Morris and the staff at Hospice House Kelowna for the wonderful care Anne received.

    I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. Jim and I had many great times with Ray and Anne when we all lived in Mississauga. We were in the car when they had the accident with their new car.
    We went on a weekend trip to the Finger Lakes in New York State and had so much fun. Lots of laughs
    My husband Jim passed away in February 2020. I miss him so much so I know how you feel with your mom gone. One big empty hole in your heart. Do take care and God bless you and the rest of the family Sylvia Polachuk

    To Anne’s Family.
    My sincere condolences to you all. Anne was a dear friend to my Mom, Lottie, who lived at Mill Creek.
    As we now live in North Vancouver, I could not attend Anne’s service in person, but I did attend virtually. It was a very beautiful service and Lynda, you created an amazing eulogy.
    Thank you for sharing your Mom with my Mom. She made a huge difference in my Mom’s life. I will always be grateful for the love, care and kindness that she selflessly gave to Mom.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
