A. Louise Bush, 84, of Colesburg, passed away Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025, following a long illness. 

Funeral services were Tuesday, Nov. 18, at Morris Funeral Home in Guttenberg. Visitation was before services at the funeral home.

Burial was at Bethel Cemetery in Colesburg.

Louise was born the daughter of Dean and Erma (Vanderpool) Jones on Feb. 2, 1941, in Salida, Colo. She was united in marriage to Richard H. Bush on April 9, 1966, at First Lutheran Church in Manchester and four children were born to this union. 

Following graduation from Garnavillo, Louise held several jobs. Her most important job was raising her four children and loving her three grandchildren even more. She enjoyed crocheting, knitting, reading, and most of all, spending time with her family.

Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Doug (Leanne) Bush of Manchester, Darcy Bush of Colesburg, Dena (Steve) Kruse of Petersburg, David Bush of Woolstock; grandchildren, Isabell, Madalynn, and Aden Kruse; in-laws, Louise (Linus) Amling of Colesburg, Lavonne Bush of Colesburg, Sonya Bush of Guttenberg, and Suzanne Knutson of Rock Falls, Ill.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Richard in 2008; and a sister, Loretta Jones.

The family would like to thank St. Croix Hospice, especially Keshia and Reece.
