Losing a loved one is never easy, but our loving god promises to give the strength and courage you'll need to endure, and to cope with the pain of your loss. He also promises to hold your hand every step of the way. (Isaiah 40:29, 41:10, 13)

Such a beautiful woman with a beautiful heart! Loved the Lord with enthusiasm and served Him in such a wonderful way. She was a joy to be around and such a wonderful smile! She will be missed and I will miss her!

In memory of a very sweet and friendly person. I met you when you were in treatment at Texas Oncology and as a volunteer there I got to know you and your husband. I looked forward to seeing you each time. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Virginia Carol Rust was born in Houston, Texas on January 18, 1956. She married Randal Rust on January 31, 1987 and they were married for 32 years. Virginia and Randal went on to have two wonderful sons Dylan and Ryan who she dearly loved. Her grandchildren would follow to bring great joy in her life. Virginia was a member of First Baptist Church Elgin and was part of various small groups and bible studies. She launched an outreach program to Elgin Elementary to help mentor children with academic needs through reading. IGNITE, as it would come to be called, was a rousing success.
Virginia worked for Southwestern Bell/ATT for forty four years and received accolades and awards too numerous to mention.
Preceding Virginia in death was her mother-in-law Wilma Lorraine Rust.
Surviving “Gigi” is her husband Randal, her children Dylan Rust, Ryan Rust and wife Andrea and stepson Lowell Rust. Her grandchildren; Johann, Ezra and Eleanor.
