It is with great sadness we announce the passing of
Floyd Wilbert Rushton, 78 years, of
Amherst on Saturday, January 21, 2023 at Gable’s Lodge, Amherst,
NS.
Floyd was the very caring husband of Shirley (Brown) Rushton,
Amherst, NS, and the loved and respected stepfather of Anita (Denis)
Allen, Kitchener, ON; David (Sharon) Yorke, Welland, ON, and Alan
(Tammy) Dupuis, Oxford, NS. He had three step-grandchildren, Alex,
Kelsie and Kristin. Floyd was a kind brother to sister Marie (Robert)
Young, Leamington, NS and a precious nephew to Martha Hoeg, Truro, NS.
He will also be remembered by sister and brother-in-law Sharon and
Cameron Scott, Niagara Falls, ON, and brothers-and sisters-in-law
Robert and Joan Brown and Carlyle and Cindy Brown, Springhill, and
brother and sister-in-law Charles and Patricia Brown, Enfield, NS and
their families.
Born in Springhill, he was the son of the late Floyd
«Tubby» and Elsie (Weirich) Rushton.
After graduating high school, Floyd joined the Royal Canadian
Navy, 3 years; the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, 12 years;
Correctional Service Canada, 20 years; and upon retirement the
Canadian Corps of Commissionaires, 12 years. Floyd was meticulous in
the jobs he performed and throughout his lifetime was recognized with
many rewards for his accomplishments.
Floyd’s many interests/hobbies included running/jogging,
country music, scuba and skydiving, membership in several gun clubs
(sharpshooter), an avid reader, could recite lengthy poems, loved
Mother Nature and all she had to offer, especially appreciating
wildlife, fostered several cats, liked working outdoors, and donated
time and financial support to worthy causes. He cherished spending
time with Shirley and going for drives.
Floyd was a true gentleman who always said he lived his life
by doing what, where and when he wanted. His favourite song was Louis
Armstrong’s «What a Wonderful World.»
A sincere «thank you» to staff of Gables Lodge and
the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre for the excellent care
given throughout his illness.
