Rusty was one of my dearest North Pole friends from 1996-2004, while she was my school Secretary at NPHS. She was kind, intelligent, efficient, caring and an all round wonderful person. I loved going to the movies, out to dinner and many events with her! I was thinking of her this afternoon, looked her up on internet and found her obituary. To Vern, Michael, Beverly and Eric you have my deepest sympathies. She loved each of you so very much. I appreciate every minute you shared her with me. God bless you all and your family. May Rusty Rest In Peace. Vivian Dailey, [email protected]

Rusty was my first and best friend all my life. We grew up together since we found each other on Pennsylvania Street. We were separated physically after she married Vernon, but she was never far from my heart. She was really a part of my family, my Dad would give her a ration, and she would give it back. She will never have to wash glass cabinets I loved her
