Anglicare Southern Queensland’s Home and Community client, Dulcie Rush, recently celebrated her 100th birthday.
Born in Booval on August 9th 1924, Dulcie’s life has been a remarkable journey of dedication and support.
While not a shooter herself, she played a pivotal role in the Rush family’s shooting legacy.
Dulcie’s late husband, Jim, was deeply involved with the Ipswich & District Rifle Club, and Dulcie was right by his side, working tirelessly in the kitchen during prize meetings and helping out with Jim Rush Shooting Supplies from 1955.
For nearly 60 years, she and Jim didn’t miss a single state championship or Queen’s Price, and Dulcie was always there, even when Jim travelled internationally from the sport.
Dulcie’s dedication earned her the honorary title of Life Member of the Ipswich & District Rifle Club.
In her later years, she enjoyed being a grandmother and great-grandmother, with Jim by her side until his passing in 2015.
Dulcie now lives in the family home, staying connected with the world and family events.
