Beth Rush 

Beth Marie Rush, 45, of Baker City, died Jan. 21, 2002, at her home with her
loved ones at her side. 

At Beth's request, the family will schedule private interment later. 

Beth was born on Aug. 2, 1956, at Prairie City to Leslie Davis and Georgia
Livermore Davis. She grew up and attended all of her school years in Baker
City. 

Beth loved animals of all kinds. She had a way with any animal she came
across, but dogs were her favorite. Many dogs found their way to her home no
matter where she lived. One dog would even run away from his home to come
visit. When you heard that special knock on the door with his tail, you knew
in a moment her little friend had arrived. 

Her wit was always primed and ready, as well as her ability to clown around.
She loved to laugh; if life was getting too serious, she had a special way of
lightening things up. Even during the last hours of her life, she had a final
little dance with her sister. 

She taught her children and nieces and nephews how to have a good time, a good
water fight and taught the kids some silly songs. She loved music, played the
guitar, and was a fabulous cook. Getting out in the woods to hunt
huckleberries, go fishing, and write poetry were her favorite things to do.
She cared for the roses and flowers in the front yard, played with her special
dog, Sassy, and was a loving grandmother. 

Her family made this tribute to her: "We thank God for every day she was with
us, and Beth we thank you too." 

Survivors include her father, Leslie Davis, and sister, Cheryl Davis, of Baker
City; daughter, Annette Brake, and her husband, Chris, and children, Synca and
Sebastian, of Nampa, Idaho; sons, Jason Rush of Baker City and Jessie Rush of
Nampa; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and many dear friends. 

She was preceded in death by her mother, Georgia Davis; and brothers, Mike and
Ronnie.
