Sandy Lush Obituary
Sandy was preceded in death by his parents, Ben and Dorothy Lush; and is survived by his devoted wife, Rebecca Dietrich; his loving son, Spencer Lush; his sisters, Gail Lush Powell and Bonnie Lush Yospin (Jerry); and several nieces and nephews.
Sandy grew up in Amelia County, graduated from VPI and served overseas in the Army before returning to Amelia to run the family dairy farm, Lushaven. Sandy shut down the dairy in 1998, but continued to raise beef cows and later, worked at the Southern Piedmont Virginia AREC until his retirement in 2018.
The family will announce details of a service at a later date, but cards are appreciated. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Wounded Warrior Project.

My room mate for 2 1/2 years at VPI, I have never known a finer gentleman than Sandy. He was never happier than when he was looking forward to marriage with Becky and working Lushhaven. I will miss him.

Sandy was almost exactly my age. He was my playmate, along with Dale Saunders, throughout our childhood. We called ourselves The Three Musketeers. This is much too soon to lose such a wonderful man.

Becky and Spencer, Janet and I are totally shocked and saddened to get the call about Sandy's death. He inherited the very best of Dorthy and Ben and was a continuing tribute to the Lush family. What a wonderful person. Growing up in Amelia my two brothers and I looked upon the Lush family as exemplifying the best of human kindness and compassion. His daily visitation of Keith Moyer was totally selfless and exemplary. Becky and Spencer, we are sending you our very best in this sad time.
