Send Sympathy Card
Rushton, Phylip Ela – 77, Oxford Junction, passed away peacefully with his beloved family by his side on Sunday, January 27, 2019 at All Saints Hospital in Springhill, NS. Born in Oxford, he was a son of the late Angus and Hilda (Miller) Rushton. Besides his wife of nearly 53 years Beverley (Wellington) Rushton, he is survived by; daughters Ann, Oxford Junction; Gail (Phil Rushton), Dutch Settlement; son, Kenneth (Susan), Oxford. He is also survived by his seven grandchildren, whom he greatly adored, Gracie, Meaghan, Jessa, Caleb, Jennica, Jeremy and Haris. Besides his parents, Phil was predeceased by brothers; Russell, Carman, Victor, Dennis; sisters; Vivian, Helen, Josie; infant grandson Matthew; several nieces and nephews. Phil enjoyed being at home, having his family around, having friends and past colleagues stopping by sharing laughs/stories, helping him keep up-to-date on the world outside of the Junction; stargazing on the back deck (he loved astronomy); fishing in his younger years (many funny stories). He always had his family’s best interest at heart. Phil (or Grampy as he was known by his colleagues) spent 30 plus years working underground at the Windsor (Canadian Salt) Company in Pugwash, NS. Arrangements have been entrusted to MacDiarmid’s Funeral Home. As per Phil’s wishes, there will be no Funeral or Celebration of Life but we encourage you to remember him in your own special way. The immediate family will be gathering on the next full moon as per Papa’s wishes for a private remembrance. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to All Saints Springhill Hospital Palliative Care Program, Marilyn & Friends Spay/Neuter Fund or any local charity of your choice. Online condolences can be forwarded to the family by visiting www.mmcfunerals.com.
