<p data-v-1c5d1bce=""><font size="+2">Vernon T. Bush, 83, of
Huntsville, Alabama, passed away peacefully at home on
Sunday, May 17th. Vernon was born in Pinola, Mississippi
and after graduating from high school, enlisted in the
United States Army from 1954 to 1957 serving as Sergeant
Tank Commander in the 73rd Tank BN 7th ID in Korea and
stateside. He married Lola Dean Shotts of Cato,
Mississippi on Christmas Day, 1958.
<br>
</font>
<font size="+2"><br>
Vernon was graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree,
School of Engineering, from Mississippi State University
in 1961 and worked for Thiokol Corporation in Huntsville,
retiring as the General Manager in late 1996.
<br>
</font>
<font size="+2"><br>
Vernon was a man of many hobbies ranging from archeology,
fishing, taxidermy, restoration of early model Mustangs,
and propagation of native azaleas. His volunteer work over
the years at Jackson County Park in Scottsboro, Alabama
and Huntsville Botanical Garden led to his vision of
creating native azalea trails bearing his name that can be
enjoyed by the public for many years to come.

<font size="+2"><br>
He was preceded in death by brothers, Billy, Elijah,
Gerald, Charles, Joe, and sister, Doris. Survivors include
his wife of 61 years, Dean Bush; son, Randy Bush of
Huntsville, Alabama and wife, Jane; step-grandsons, Will
and Jake; son, Keith Bush of Nashville, Tennessee; foster
daughter, Faye Boyd of Neel, Alabama and husband, Dale,
and their children, Scott, Shane, Anita and Jason; and
sister, Barbara Bush of Picayune, Mississippi.
