She particularly enjoyed mission trips in the U.S.A. and in Australia.
Mrs. Russell is survived by a son and a daughter, 3 grandchildren and a number of great-grandchildren, and several friends especially Cherie Bumgarner who has been a tremendously help over the last several years since her children live out of state. Her son, Joel Glenn Russell, now resides in Houston, Texas with his wife Connie. Her grandson, Chad and his wife, Wendy,
and their two sons, Jacob and John Gavin live in Union, South Carolina. Her other grandson, Jason, lives in Orlando, Florida and she also has numerous other great-grandchildren.
Her daughter, Donna Russell Cooper, lives in Johnson City, Tennessee with her husband Dr. Marc Cooper. Her granddaughter, Emily is married to Jimmy Hortman and live in Myrtle Beach with their two children Elisabeth Grace and Catherine Mae.
