January 26, 1950 - July 24, 2020

Corene Brown Rush, loving wife and mother of two, passed away in her home at the age of 70 on Friday, July 24, 2020.Corene was born on January 26, 1950 in Winston Salem, North Carolina to Lonious and Vera (Jones) Brown. She was a 1970 graduate of Governor Morehead School in Raleigh, North Carolina; 1971 graduate of North Carolina School for the Deaf in Morganton, North Carolina. She worked as a Data Entry clerk for Alpha Omega Data Entry for 30 years. She married Reginald Rush on June 21, 1975 and raised two children Anthony and De’Aarrio. Corene loved to communicate with her family and the deaf community. Spending time and eating together with family and friends is very important to her. The deaf community gave her a sense of belonging, it is like her family away from home. She always enjoys her time spent. Whether it is hanging out, eating, or just having fun. Traveling with family and friends to events, leisure times, reunions is also something she loves to do. Central Triad Church is where she loves to worship every Sunday, placing God first, before being a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, or a friend. She is the most compassionate, loving, caring, giving person you would love to be around. Her smile is known to light up any room that she walks into. She would say “I will keep fighting, I will not give up” and that she did. With hugs being one of her specialties, loving to joke and make people smile and laugh just comes natural to her. Corene was preceded in death by her father, Lonious, her mother, Vera; Two sisters, Virginia, Irene; four brothers, Paul Jr., Lonious, Daniel, James. She is survived by her husband Reginald; two children, Anthony, and De’Aarrio; three grandchildren, Raynard, Aquavian, and De’Verian; three sisters Gwendolyn, Wanda, Levonia; one brother Jesse; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
