George Rusovick Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 7, 2024.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of George Rusovick, a beloved artist, teacher, avid fisherman, and devoted grandfather, on August 2, 2024.

Born into an Italian family in Pueblo Colorado, George met the love of his life, Rosalie, while they were both teaching at a local high school in Pueblo. Together, they moved to Rochester, MN, where they raised two wonderful daughters, Karna and Margo.

George leaves behind his wife Rosalie, sister Sharon Abercrombie, his daughter Karna (Evan) Sandok, daughter Margo (Steve) Hays, grandchildren Connor Sandok, Gracia Sandok, Gabrielle and Everett Hays.

A celebration of George's life will be held at Mayowood Stone Barn in Rochester, MN, on September 3, 2024 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We invite friends and family that knew George well to attend and share their fond memories of George. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Seasons Hospice of Rochester or the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
