Dolores L. Rustic

Dolores L. (Dee) Rustic Dee was known for her infectious, unique laugh and her bright, easy smile. To her many friends, she was 'Sunshine' or 'Bubbles'. She had been a Nurse Practitioner in Michigan and in Florida, after graduating from the University of Michigan (BSN) and earning her MSN from Michigan State University. She was awarded the Excellence in Nursing award from Saginaw Valley State University, and was a member of the Michigan Nurses Association Advisory Council. She was an educator and practitioner for many years. She moved to Viera, Florida in 2006, and was active in the Viera Women's Association, Viera East Ladies Golf Association, Rolling Readers, and in many social activities at Heritage Isle. Vivacious and active, she loved playing golf (hitting a hole-in-one in June, 2009), playing bingo and cards, and making glass jewelry, often searching for sea glass with friends and crafting custom pieces at home. Most of all, she loved spending time with friends, family, and especially her grandchildren. Dee is survived by her devoted husband Bill, her daughter Sheri and son-in-law Ian, and son Gerry; sister Barbara and brother Stan; and her babies, grandchildren Marlee and Libbie. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews, great-nieces, and a great-nephew. She will be missed by her many loving friends from Michigan, Florida, and across the country. Dee touched many lives and was loved by many. A Funeral Mass will be held 10:00AM, Thursday, May 13, 2010 at St John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Viera, FL.
