Debra K. Russell, age 59 of Moores Hill, died Thursday, January 7, 2021 at her home. Born April 19, 1961 in Batesville, she is the daughter of Rita (Nee: Heppner) and Bernard Batta. She married Todd Russell June 2, 2012 at the Milan Christian Church. She was a former owner of Hair Decisions Salon in Milan and the Sharper Image Salon in Batesville.
Debra had an infectious smile and was selfless, putting others ahead of herself, wanting only the best for them. Because of her nurturing manner, she became a close friend to many of her customers as well a supporter, coach or an unbiased ear when needed. Debra preferred being outdoors and found pleasure in simple things. Rides on the 4-wheeler to enjoy the beauty of sunrises or sunsets, working in her flower beds and the garden, going boating or traveling to visit her children, whether that was to Los Angeles, Brooklyn or Germany. She and Todd were longtime youth ministers at the Milan Christian Church and two of her favorite sayings were “Every day is a gift from God” and “Don’t let the devil steal your joy”. Without a doubt though, her greatest joy was being with her family and grandchildren.
She is survived by her husband Todd; daughter Kendra Nissen of Moores Hill; son Dylon Walker of Brooklyn, New York; parents Rita and Bernard Batta of New Alsace; brothers Jeff Batta of Oldenburg, Doug Batta of New Alsace and grandchildren Mena and Bennet Nissen.
Visitation is Tuesday, January 12th, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Carnegie Hall in Moores Hill. Due to the current Governor’s mandate all attendees are required to wear a mask and observe physical distancing. The mask must cover the nose and mouth at all times. Funeral services with limited seating will follow at 1:00 p.m. with Rev. Shawn McMullen officiating. Burial will be in Forest Hill Cemetery at Moores Hill. Keeping with Debra’s desire of wanting the best for others, in lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (www.pancan.org) so that others may benefit.
