BLAINE BUSH Obituary

Blaine Jacob Bush, 76, beloved husband for 55 1/2 years of Donna (nee Horton); loving father of Sean (Kelly) and Todd (Andrea); devoted grandfather of Nicholas Judd (Makayla Hart), Isabella, Claire, Brady, and Leah Bush; cherished son of the late Glenn and Elizabeth (nee Gwynn); dearest brother of Gary (Dorothy) Bush and Glenda Sabo; dear brother-in-law of Dianne (Mike) Hawk and David (Janet) Horton, passed away January 15, 2025.
Blaine was born on June 1, 1948, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. He was a 1966 graduate of Wellsboro High School and furthered his education at Lock Haven University where he was a member of the football team. He then continued on to nursing school in Williamsport and then on to Anesthesia school in Allentown, where he graduated as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. Blaine had a long career of helping others and retired in 2005 after working for hospitals in Delaware and for St. Lukes and Marymount Hospitals in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
When not working, he would be found rooting for the Cleveland Browns and Ohio State Buckeyes. While Blaine worked at Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College, he and Donna held Penn State season tickets. He also loved taking car trips with his wife and family to the beaches in Florida and to Annapolis, Maryland where they would enjoy the local delicacy, Blue Crabs. Blaine was known to be a great cook making meals and baking for his family, which he cherished most. He was a true family man and enjoyed spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren. Those that knew him would describe him as a person with a great sense of humor who was always ready with a great story to tell. His family knew him as the best husband, father, and grandfather. He will be missed by all who knew him.

I could write a book about my history with the Bush family. My wonderful memories and history of Blaine are too numerous to mention. From Titusville, Marymount, the Grub hole, to the first Buffalo chicken wing, the unconditional friendship enriched my life in ways I can´t explain. Blaine was one of the best anesthetist I have worked with. His medical talent was extraordinary.
No words can be found to explain my broken heart for his loss to Donna and the Bush family. My love to all of you always.
