  2. Hazel Russell and my mother were both nurses, and they were dear friends all my life, and Nita was my best friend growing up.  Mr Russell and my father were in the military together.  She was such a wonderful person, always to willing to help other people and always thinking of her family.    We lived just a few houses away, and she would stop often by on her way home, saying “I can’t stay long, just wanted to stop by…”  I will always remember her smile, her laugh, and her passion when she felt really strongly about something.  To Mr Russell, and Nita, Kelli, and Toni, I love you all, and I wish you peace.  Know that you took excellent care of her and she wanted for nothing.   The grief will get easier to bear over time, but what will always remain is the love.

  10. Mr. Russell, Toni, Kelli and Anita I just learned of the passing of Ms Russell this past Sunday when I went to “H” St to visit with the Wesley’s. The ironic thing is I went to the house and knocked and waited a minute then drove around to the Lowe’s only to be told of the passing of Mrs. Russell, one of the sweetest women in “H” St. My Prayers and Love to you all
