    Notes:

    Gladys is my mother-in-law. I knew her personally and lived in Columbia where she did fron the day her daughter, Betsy, and I were married until Gladys' death. All of the information I have about her and her family is from her. No better documentation is needed, but I also have her mother's Bible with Gladys' birth date in it. (David W. Marshall, Sr.)

    Document in the unnumbered documents folder: Rush, Berenice - Bible

    Gladys suffered from cancer that had spread to the bones, lungs, liver, and other areas of her body. Her daughter-in-law, Cathy, was with her on Friday morning when her breathing suddenly changed. Cathy called the other family members immediately. Gladys had already passed away before Betsy, Theresa, Theresa's children, and I could reach the hospital. She was in Baptist Medical Center when she died. The one blessing was that she did not linger. She died within two weeks from the time we admitted her to the hospital. She was cremated and her remains interred beside her husband in the mausoleum at Greenlawn Cemetery. [DWM-4/27/2001]

    Notes:

    This is my wife. I don't need any other documentation about her. - David W. Marshall, Sr.




    Betsy was in Palmetto Richland Hospital when she died. She was in the hospital for two weeks as they diagnosed her condition. It was Metastatic Breast Cancer. She declined rapidly and on Monday morning, September 17, 2018 she took her last breath.

    I was by her bed, along with my daughter, Susan, and my son, David, when she died. At about 10:30 am she became agitated and struggled for breath. She coughed raggedly and struggled to get a breath. Then she settled down for a few minutes. At 11:00 am she was again agitated and struggled to breath. She coughed two or three times, raised her head up off the bed and lowered it back down. She stopped breathing. I felt for her heart and it was not beating. She was gone.

    She was a good woman and worked with hundreds of children at Lexington United Methodist Church over the years, guiding their faith journeys.

    I miss her greatly.

    She was cremated and interred in the Greenlawn Memorial Park Main Columbarium II 3 C

    It was a very long night but there is really no change. She has102 fever
    and 60/42 bp but her heart is still strong enough to sustain her for now.
    Her lungs have fluid and they had to suction her once. The nurses didn't
    think she'd make it thru the night, but she has. Everyone is pretty
    emotionally and physically drained but we all know that God is not ready
    for her just yet. Keep praying. I'll let you know if anything changes.

    As you all know, Karen has been fighting cancer since she was diagnosed on
    March 17 of this year. What started in her breast spread to her bones
    (shoulder, hip, knee) and her back.

    This past Friday, she slipped off of the toilet and broke her hip. After
    getting her to the hospital, admitted, labs and in a room, it was
    discovered that her calcium level was quite high and they would not be able
    to do surgery until that was addressed.

    Because she was also acting disoriented, they performed an MRI on her
    brain, and discovered that the cancer has spread to that area also now. It
    is also at the base of her lungs.

    Her kids (Dee, Bryan and Heather) prayed long and hard and decided that
    since there was not anything they could do to get their mom back to a
    living, functional state, they have moved her to Hospice, where she can be
    as pain-free and comfortable as possible during this stage.

    Please keep the family in your prayers. I will let you all know of any
    changes.
