Jacqueline Jayne Bush

Jacqueline Jayne Bush, at the age of 95, experienced one final change of address as she entered her heavenly home during the early morning of March 11, 2025. In doing so, she was reunited with her beloved husband, Edward J. Bush whom she married during the “Big Snow” November 29, 1950. Together they built a life rich in love and faith.Born February 3, 1930, in New Castle, she was the daughter of Francis Cecil Mitchell and Marguerite (Dickson) Mitchell.In addition to her parents and her husband of 60 years, she was preceded in death by two brothers Jack Edward Mitchell and Dickson Mitchell. Jacqueline is survived by one daughter, Maureen Hammond (Thom) of McMurray, Pa; two sons, Mark Bush (Terri) of Bradenton, FL and Jeffrey Bush (Kim) of Lake Norman, NC.; six grandchildren (Zac, MacKenzie, Mallory, Kirsten, Stephanie, Rachel) and two great-grandchildren (Francis and Piper.)Jackie worked for Johnson Bronze in her early years, eventually becoming a telemarketer for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company until her retirement. She was incredibly dedicated to her community theater, the New Castle Playhouse. Whether she was on stage playing the lead role in Hello Dolly, behind the scenes bringing production to life, or welcoming her guests with her warm smile, she persevered. She enjoyed mentoring young talent as well and loved creating and directing musicals for the youth group and drama class at Clen-Moore Presbyterian Church. She made every performance a labor of love.Beyond her love of the theater, Jackie’s faith was nurtured from a young age at Clen-Moore Church. She was a lifelong deacon, she was a Sunday school teacher, a member of the Tri-M class, taught Bible school, and above all a prayer warrior. Her volunteer ministry was her full-time job after retirement. For over 30 years, she selfishly spread her faith, visiting nursing homes, hospitals, and private residences to pray for the elderly, the infirm, and shut ins. Jackie found her true joy in the peace and comfort her prayers brought, a priceless gift to everyone she encountered. In addition to her ministry, Jackie was a cherished member of the church choir for more than 40 years seated in the front row with her white hair aglow, sunlight streaming through the windows, many remarked that she looked like an angel. Now, as she rests with the angels, her radiant spirit will continue to inspire and uplift all who knew her. Jacqueline Bush‘s legacy of love, service, and unwavering faith will remain in our hearts forever.Visitation will be held on Monday, March 17 from 10 to 11 am at Clen-Moore Presbyterian Church, 220 Clen-Moore Blvd., New Castle followed by an 11 am service.Pastor Michael Spicuzza and Reverend Chris Weichman will officiate.Burial will be in Castleview CemeteryIn lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made to Clen-Moore Presbyterian Church, 220 Clen-Moore Blvd., New Castle, Pa.16105.Arrangements have been entrusted to the R.
