Ann H. Russell, 68, of Dunmore, died Wednesday at Hospice of the Sacred Heart Inpatient Unit, Dunmore.
Born in Scranton, daughter of the late George "Mike" and Helen Capp Russell, she was a graduate of Dunmore High School and a member of SS. Anthony and Rocco Parish. At the age of 17, she applied for work at Fidelity Bank but had to wait until after graduation to start, and remained there until her retirement. Her dream was to be a clothing designer but never had the opportunity to go to school, so she instead drew outfits and made dress cutouts for paper dolls. She and her niece, Mary Ann, who many thought was her daughter, spent much time together in activities from joining a bowling league, shopping, going out to eat, making ceramics and playing board games like Clue and Monopoly. Ann also enjoyed going to the casino and taking overnight trips with her mom and niece. A lover of music, she enjoyed soft jazz and Broadway, and loved to go see shows at the Theatre League in Scranton and in New York City.
Surviving are her sister, Mary Fuller and husband, Richard; and niece and godchild, Mary Ann Guziewicz and husband John, all of Dunmore; and cousins.
The funeral will be Monday from the Carlucci-Golden-DeSantis Funeral Home Inc., 318 E. Drinker St., Dunmore, with Mass of Christian Burial at 9:30 a.m. in the St. Anthony of Padua Church, Smith Street, Dunmore. Interment, St. Michael's Cemetery, Dunmore.
