Marjorie Ann Rust, 74, passed away peacefully November 10, 2002 in her home in Richland.
She was born in Tuscola , Illinois, February 17, 1928. She lived in the Tri- Cities for 34 years and was a daycare provider for 22. In 1978 she changed her career to property management, including managing the Marianna Apartments in Kennewick and the Airport Motel in Pasco.
Marjorie was a member of Christ The King and Holy Spirit. She belonged to the American Kennel Club, where she was nationally known in the 1950s and 1960s for her dog breeding and obedience training. During that period she raised several American Champions including an Irish Setter who became an American/ Canadian Champion.
In 1946 Marjorie married Ronald Lynch in California. They moved to the Tri-Cities in 1953 and raised five children. They were later divorced. In 1977 she married Clarence Rust and they moved to California in 1985 until their return to Washington in 2001.

Well over 100 children who attended Marges Daycare Center from 1955 thru 1977 still consider 1439 Kimball as their second home. She is also survived by her precious companion Raven, her Cocker Spaniel.
Her mother Laura Juanita Alexander and father Owen Gibson were waiting for her in heaven.
A small family service will be conducted privately. Donations can be made to the Tri cities Chaplaincy Hospice 2108 W. Entiat Ave. Kennewick, WA or Home Care Services 8656 Gage Blvd. Kennewick, WA.
Mom, we will miss your great stories and sense of humor. We all love you very much.
Dear Clarence,
I know it’s been many years since we’ve had contact, but I read in the paper today with shock of the loss of your wife Marjorie and I just wanted to express my condolences to you. In conversations that I have had with Steve over the years, he always spoke very highly of Marjorie’s kindness. He said she was a good lady. My husband of 16 years, who is also named Steve, and I are missionaries here in the Tri-cities area working through the Columbia Basin Baptist Association in an ESL ministry with the Hispanics and Bosnian/Serbs/Croations of the area. We moved to Kennewick in June of 2001. Your grandson Adam, who is now 30 years old, lives and works in Auburn. He’s a fine man. I’ll let him know that you are in this area, as I’m sure he thinks you are still in California.
Again, please accept my expression of sorrow for your loss. My number is 509585-7002. Would love to hear from you.
Your daughter-in-law of many years ago,
Sharon

To all of Marjorie’s family: Thank you for the opportunity to share condolences with you at this time. I was assigned as Marjorie’s volunteer through the Chaplaincy Hospice program. Though I didn’t get to know her as well as you do, I want you to know that I enjoyed visiting with her and getting to know her a little. She had a great sense of humor and was very interesting to talk to. I know she was in a lot of pain the last few months and am glad that she is finally relieved of that, but I know she will be missed greatly by her children, husband, grandchildren and others. I wish you peace at this time when it is very hard for you. Thank you for the opportunity to get to know her.
Dear Mickey and family, I read today of your mothers passing. I’m so sorry for your loss, but am grateful her suffering is over. Please give my regards to the rest of your family and if there is anything I can do for you, please call. Also give my condolences to Rusty. We will be praying for you in the days ahead for strength and many good memories to get you through the rough days. We love you and the girls. Go bless, Nat and Janis Tames{ wanted to send a card but did not have a street address}
