Gloria Bush

Fargo, N.D.

Gloria Bush, 93, passed away on Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021 at Sanford Health in Fargo, N.D.

Mass of Christian Burial was held on Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2021 at St. John's Catholic Church, New Rockford, N.D. Burial was at the Prairie Home Cemetery, New Rockford. Fr. Reese Weber officiated the service with special music by Annette Hovey. Casket bearers were Stephanie Sauby, Amanda Korynta, Jennifer Bush, Taylor Dockter, Lindsey Lee, Tara Fermoyle, Cody Fermoyle and Amber Wellnitz. Honorary bearers were all of Gloria's great-grandchildren.

Gloria Jeanne Knott Bush was born on Aug., 22, 1928 in Bristol, S.D. Her parents were Nellie Estella Hanson Knott and Truman Ceasar Knott. Gloria moved to New Rockford in 1940.

Gloria attended Fargo Business College and then went to work at the Sears Credit department. She married Richard John Bush on Nov. 15, 1947 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Fargo. She was a stay-at-home mom from 1953 to 1971. She then went to work at the Fargo Clinic, where she had never before used an electric typewriter. She wondered what she had gotten herself into, but never gave up until she mastered it. She worked over 40 years at the Fargo, MeritCare, and Sanford Clinics and thoroughly enjoyed working, which is why she was still working part time into her 80's.

Gloria is survived by four children: Karen Jo in Fergus Falls, Minn.; John Bush (Shelly) on Little Cormorant Lake; Susan Lee (Roger) in Hillsboro, N.D., and Kathy Fermoyle (Tom) on Upper Cormorant Lake; eight grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, sister Phyllis Gorman Rosatti, brother Don Knott, and one grandson.
