It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Douglas Edward Rushton, age 85, of Oxford, NS. Doug passed away at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre on Sunday, March 15, 2020.

Born in Springhill, NS, he was a son of the late Tom and Jenny (Boutilier) Rushton.

Dougie was loved by all the staff, and the other residents in the manor. He was truly a sweet man that people were drawn to and fond of. He was a strong supporter of the PC party. He loved watching hockey and baseball, either on television, or in person.

He will be dearly missed by his brother Gordon (Edna) Rushton, Summerside, PEI; nephews, Ronnie (Sharon), Kevin, Neil (Cindy), Larry (Tammy), and niece Pauline.
