Paul Edward Russell, age 78, beloved son, dad, paw-paw, and brother ended his battle with Parkinson’s disease and passed away on January 5, 2021. He was born on October 12, 1942, in Graham, Texas, to Willie and Ruby (Mayo) Russell. He moved to Wichita Falls as a teenager and married Donna Goodman on December 22, 1961, raised a family, and retired from the City of Wichita Falls in 2003. Paul spent most of his retirement years staying busy with his family, RV Travel, his enjoyment of classic cars, and his special friendships with his coffee buddies and Antique Car Club members. He was the family go-to person for fixing everything from a broken car to a broken heart, and he will be dearly missed. He is survived by wife, Donna, of 59 years, a daughter, Kristy Michelle Siegert and husband Bob; grandsons Christopher Russell and Tyler Siegert, granddaughter Lindsey Siegert Lee and husband Seth; great grandchildren, Hendrix, Harper, and Hunter; a brother, Virgil, of Waynesville, NC; Beloved “sister” in law Angie Lewis; nephew Woody Elliott; and many extended family members, all of whom he loved dearly. Paul was preceded in death by his son, Dewayne Lee, his parents, Willie and Ruby (Mayo) Russell, two brothers, Billy and L.J. Russell, and three sisters, Juanita Beadle, Pauline Elliott, and Virginia Hammett. At Paul’s request no public service will be held. Arrangements are under the direction of Hampton Vaughan Crestview Funeral Home. The family would like to say thank you to the staff at Senior Care Health and Rehabilitation and Hospice of Wichita Falls for the excellent care they provided during this difficult time.
