At birth, she only weighed 3 pounds and her Grandma Nelson warmed her to health on the oven door. In her younger years, they moved from Vernal to Colorado, then back to Salt Lake City for a short time. Her grandparents, Desmond and Ruby Nelson, raised her along with their three sons, Dee Jay, Jack, and Gene who became her "brothers." The nickname of "Mona" from the taunt "bony Mona" stuck. When she was about 8 years old, they moved to 735 Custer Ave., Billings. She went to art school while staying at Aunt Lyla's in Utah. Her mother Ermon died in a car accident when she was 15 years old. The largest mural Mona painted was about 40 feet across depicting the paradise the Bible promises at Isaiah 11:6-9 of all of Jehovah God's creation - animals and humans - at peace, a very appealing hope for the future. In addition to the murals, she sketched and painted in various mediums, but preferred oil on canvas. The home kiln produced pottery and she made some of her sculptures into bronzes. She had several art studios in Billings. Another passion was music. She enjoyed singing and playing the guitar. Her talents have been passed down to her children and grandchildren. Mona and Bob shared their marriage for 58 years. She was survived by her husband, Robert John Rush; four children, Mark, Robin, Pamela Gilliland Keys Rush and Tanna Krum; eight grandchildren, Eric, Micah, Isaac, Forest and Desmond Rush, Rachel Crossley, Kristopher Keys and Travis Krum; and four great-grandchildren, Tanner, Lily, Isabella and Violet Rush. And her "brother" and uncle Gene Nelson in Heber, Utah.
