Gina Rush, 61, passed away on March 18th, 2024 at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was a devoted follower of Christ from a young age and is now with her Lord and Savior in Heaven.

Gina, the baby of 6, was born in Oklahoma City on January 11, 1963 to Johnnie and JoAnne Mazzolini.

She has been a member of St. James the Greater Catholic Church since birth. She attended St. James during grade school and then graduated from Mount St. Mary’s High school in 1980.

After high school, Gina began working for Southwestern Bell/AT&T and retired in 2022 after 41 years of dedicated service.

She was known as a wife, mother and pretty princess, but her favorite title was Grammy! She had a special place in her heart for her grandkids and you could usually find her wherever they were. Her family was her greatest treasure. She dreamed of having a family commune and often begged her kids and siblings to buy up a bunch of land so we could have our own little neighborhood.

She had a life-long love affair with chips and queso, ice cream cones and The Bold and The Beautiful. Her favorite activities included karaoke, all day shopping trips with her daughters, girls’ weekend with her best friends, epic family game nights, rolling faces with her grandkids, traveling with the love of her life and always wanting to hold his hand.

We were blessed to learn many valuable lessons from Gina during her 61 years, among them: Never throw anything away. Like Ever. (Just In case you might need it someday), eating toast and taking Claritin can cure any ailment including broken bones and if you tilt your head just right and whine you’ll get anything you want.
