Benford Morris Rushing born April 9, 1924 in Stewart, MS, passed away peacefully at home on June 1, 2014 at the age of 90.

Upon his return he worked at the Federal Reserve Bank for a number of years, then continued to work in security for another bank.
Morris is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Arlene Carle; several nieces and nephews and many friends.
