Noreen F. Colbeck-Bush Obituary

We are sad to announce that on October 23, 2022 we had to say goodbye to Noreen F. Colbeck-Bush (Cedar Rapids, Iowa), born in Detroit, Michigan. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

She was predeceased by: her father Norman Colbeck; and her grandparents, John, Virginia Colbeck, Cecil and Irene Eykyn.

She is survived by: her mother Donna Colbeck (Eykyn) of Cedar Rapids; her husband Russ Bush; her sons, Thomas "Tom" of Cedar Rapids and Augustus "Gus" Bush of Cedar Rapids; her siblings, Amy Gaffney (C. Dennis) of Lamont, Peggy Colbeck-Rochford (Rocky) of Cedar Rapids, Nancy Snaadt (Douglas) of Fort Madison, Iowa, Jonathan Colbeck (Bobbie) of Cedar Rapids, Joel Colbeck of Cedar Rapids and Todd Colbeck of Cedar Rapids; her parents-in-law, Dennis and Peggy Bush of Riverside, Iowa; and her sister-in-law Angie Logan (Terry) of Sedalia, Missouri. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

During the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and the derecho natural disaster where 21 of 31 school buildings were significantly damaged, Noreen demonstrated her strategic approaches and professional gentleness to all matters that swirled within the parameters of those difficult times.

Noreen's wish was for every child to have an opportunity; in lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Cedar Rapids Community Schools Foundation.
