Rush Martin J., 89, of Cheltenham, passed peacefully May 1st, 2019. Born in Co. Mayo, Ireland on February 20, 1930, to the late Nora (Griffin) and John Rush. Beloved husband of Jane (Duffy) Rush.

Martin cherished all of his family, near and far, who are too numerous to name at this time. As the only member of his large immediate family to immigrate to the United States, the deep love, support, and welcome he felt from Jane’s sisters and brothers and their respective spouses and families meant the world to him. Relatives and friends are invited to his viewing on Tuesday, May 7th from 9:00-10:45 AM followed by his funeral mass at 11:00 AM both at Immaculate Conception Church 602 West Ave. Jenkintown.
