Dove was born January 6, 1950, in Swainsboro, to the late Charlie Ezra Bush and Lucille Giles Bush.

She was a loving grandmother, mother, sister and friend whose kindness and warmth greeted the hearts of each of whom she met.

It was the simple moments spent together that she treasured most. Though Dove will be deeply missed, her love, kindness, and memory will remain in our hearts.
