KATHY BURROWS RUSHLO (CULLERS)

Phoenix, Ariz.

Dec. 30, 1957 – April 27, 2022

Kathy, 64, was a happy, fun, intelligent and quick-witted woman who was loved by any and everyone who met her. She had a huge heart and tried to help anyone she could. She was not just a mother but a second "mother" to many and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Kathy started life in

Springfield, Ill., before moving to Coralville with her parents in 1960. She attended Penn and Kirkwood elementary schools as well as North West junior high before graduating from West High in 1976. She went on to get her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Health Administration from the University of Iowa. She was most recently the Sponsored Programs Director at A.T. Still University in Phoenix.

When she wasn't crocheting or watching her favorite sports teams she was outside with a cigar and a glass of wine. She loved the beach and would take any chance she could get to sit in the sun. She loved dancing, music and spending time with family and friends.

Kathy is survived by her parents, Leslie (Les) and Nancy Cullers; her daughters, Leslie Cady, Jami Burrows (Xzayvier) and Shelby Shaull (Shawn); and her sisters, Cheryl Hoard (John), Cindy Smith (Ron) and Pam Cullers-Benner (Ronnie). She also is survived by her grandchildren, Kiara, Austin, JD, Cayden, Delilah, Kyla, Tyson and Taylor; as well as many nieces and nephews.
