Virginia Carol Rust

On Sunday March 31, 2019 Virginia Rust left us to be in her Eternal Home with her Savior Jesus Christ. Though her health failed, her Lord will not. 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.
