I have been trying to e-mail the one who wanted Irene Rushing's obituary, but the mail keeps coming back. In case no one else sent the obit, and she checks for an answer, here it is: Athens Daily Review October 10, 1998: Irene Kealoha Kamauoha Makekau Rushing Services for Irene Kealoha Kamauoha Makekau Rushing, 71, of Athens are scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 814 Belmont, in Athens, with Bishop Stanley Green officiating.
